Aqueous solubilization of [60]fullerene via inclusion complex formation and the hydration of C60

Abstract

Natural and substituted cyclodextrins (CDs), as well as some calixarenes, have been investigated with respect to their solubilization of C60 in water. Underivatized γ-CD is proved to have unique solubilizing power among the possible complexing agents as it produces stable solutions and solids containing real 1  2 complexes. The differences in the appearance of the solutions (magenta or brown colour) are explained by the hydration of the C60 within the supramolecule. The composition and structure of the complexes are proved by chemical analyses, X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy and solid state NMR.
