Isothermal solubility of individual light fullerenes in the homologous series of n-alkanes, n-alkanols, n-alkylcarboxylic acids, and arenes

Fullerenes in Liquid Media: An Unsettling Intrusion into the Solution Chemistry

“…220 A distinct nonmonotonous variation was registered for C 60 in the homologous series of alkylcarboxylic acids and arenes and for both fullerenes in alkanes. 222 The carbon disulfide and such aromatic solvents as benzene, toluene, tetralin, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, 1-methylnaphthalene, 1-phenylnaphthalene, etc., represent the group of "good" solvents. Banerji and his colleagues mentioned that the solubility of C 60 is largely controlled by charge transfer interactions with suitable n-and π-donors.…”

“…After the first studies, ,,, where sonication was in some cases used for acceleration of the dissolution, more detailed investigations were undertaken. ,, The data were accumulated, ,,,, widen, ,,,− and critically considered. ,, The values given in Table represent a small but typical part of a much larger body of data (e.g., the s values for C 60 in around 150 solvents at 298 K or at room temperature are available) . The relative permittivity values, ε r , are from refs and .…”

“…Besides the s values determined at room temperatures or at 298 K in neat solvents, polythermic solubility data ,,,,− ,,,− as well as the s values in mixed organic solvents ,,,− , are also available.…”

“…Most data refer to C 60 in organic and in several inorganic solvents, and to a lesser degree to C 70 . Some results have been reported for bromo derivatives of C 60 , for light fullerenes in homologous series of saturated and unsaturated carboxylic acids, in some etherial and vegetable fats, animal fats, etc. Also, the mutual solubility of C 60 and C 70 and of industrial fullerene mixtures was studied. ,,− …”
