Abstract

Carbon aggregates of various nuclearities have been recently the subject of renewed interest [1]. Despite an intense research, effort no molecular level characterization of C60 and related molecules has been reported yet [1,2]. Moreover, the chemical properties of these materials is virtually unknown. In this paper we report briefly the preparation, electrochemical and structural characterization of crystalline C60/70 solvates [3].
