The paper presents the results of experimental measurements of constitutive and electrophysical properties in hydroxylated endohedral metallofullerene with gadolinium sample. We extracted endohedral metallofullerene from carbon condensate, synthesized in high-frequency arc discharge plasma. Later hydroxyl groups were added. Via methods of infrared and x-ray photoelectronic spectroscopy, it was established that the molecules of hydroxylated endohedral metallofullerene have the Gd@C 82 O x (OH) y , x+y=(40-42) composition. The method of measuring the electrical impedance in the frequency range from 100 Hz to 100 MHz shows that the resulting hydroxylated fullerene is an ion conductor. The measured frequency dependences of the dielectric permittivity and conductivity of hydroxylated fullerene are explained based on the assumption of an inhomogeneous distribution of electric charges in the material volume. Dielectric-hysteresis loops in the frequency range of 25 Hz-1 MHz and temperature range of 80-300 K, and volt-ampere characteristics were measured. The obtained results imply the appearance of residual polarization induced by the electric field in hydroxylated fullerene. However, the constant dipole moment is absent.
In this paper, we describe application of the adrenaline autoxidation reaction to determine the antioxidant activity of fullerenols C 60 , C 70 their mixture with higher fullerenol and endohedral fullerenol Y@C 82 . It was shown that the adrenaline autoxidation reaction can be applied to determine the antioxidant activity of fullerenols. The antioxidant activity of C 70 fullerenol was higher than that of C 60 fullerenol Additionally, the antioxidant activity of Y@C 82 fullerenol was higher than that of C 70 fullerenol.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
