Abstract

Structural properties of various kinds of room-temperature synthesized C₆₀ fullerene nanowhiskers were investigated by TEM and XRD. The C₆₀ nanowhiskers prepared by use of toluene lost their initial solvated hexagonal structure faster than the C₆₀ nanowhiskers prepared by use of m-xylene. The hexagonal structure of C₆₀ nanowhiskers prepared by use of toluene was stabilized by adding C ₆₀[C(COOC₂H₅)₂]. These results suggest that large solute molecules in the C₆₀ nanowhisker matrix stabilize their initially solvated hexagonal structure. Furthermore, the addition of a sufficient amount of C₆₀(2-methoxycarbonyl-N- methylpyrrolidine) into the m-xylene solution of C₆₀ produced the C₆₀ nanowhiskers indicating the formation of ordered solid solution of C₆₀ and C₆₀(2-methoxycarbonyl-N-methylpyrrolidine).
