Fullerates: interaction of divalent metal ions with Langmuir monolayers and multilayers of mono-substituted C60–malonic acid
Abstract
Stable Langmuir monolayers of C60[C(CO2H)2] are formed on pure water and on solutions containing Ca2+ or Cd2+ ions; catioN–Headgroup interactions result in expanded monolayers and the transfer of Ca2+–fullerene multilayers onto quartz substrates.
