“…The formation of fullerene-derivative-modified SAMs has been achieved through the junction moiety of carboxyl derivative, organosilane, OsO 4 , or organosulfur. , On the other hand, the LB technique, the method that fabricates Langmuir films at the air/water interface and subsequently transfers those films onto a solid substrate, also allows controlling the structure of the films at a molecular level. Fullerene derivatives were functionalized by hydrophilic additives, such as poly(ethylene glycol), ,, polyhydroxylate, crown ether, and oligopeptide . Furthermore, the fullerene derivative, in which fullerene was incorporated into the branched moiety of dendron, was investigated as a LB-film-constituting material. ,, However, the construction of highly ordered thin films from dendron-including fullerene derivatives is still challenging investigations.…”
