The structures and stabilities of carbon fullerenes C n ( n =20–94) are studied with tight-binding molecular dynamics in combination with a new scheme for generating energetically favorable fullerene networks. Magic numbers for fullerene formation energy are observed at n =60, 70 and 84. The experimental observation of the more abundant fullerenes is related to the fragmentation stabilities and chemical reactivities of the fullerenes obtained from our calculations.

Abstract Simulation of aqueous and carbon disulphide solutions of fullerene C60 was performed by molecular dynamics (MD). We proposed the correlation of fullerene solubility versus the mean force potential, ΔFC60–C60(r), obtained from the numeric experiment.

We investigated the dynamics of a binary mixture (water and epoxy resin) confined within van der Waals (vdW) walls using molecular dynamics simulations. We discovered a novel phenomenon named perpendicular separations of two phases (PSTP). In the initial stage, central water molecules diffused, subsequently condensing symmetrically within the confinement's mid-plane. In the later stage, as water droplets nucleate and grow, the resin separates perpendicularly into two films due to the action of bubblers and vdW walls, resulting in a hollow nanochannel. The mechanisms and conditions underlying PSTS are discussed. The results indicate that the concentration (C) of resin in the middle region is linearly decreased with temporal power and linearly decreased with time in the very last stage. Our findings could shed light on the manufacture of nanofilms and organic nanochannels, which could help advance bio-detection and energy fields.

The title fullerenes have been reduced under conditions (Zn, conc. HCl, toluene solution, 1h, N2, dark, room temp.) that give C60H36 from [60]fullerene and C70H36–40 from [70]fullerene. Reduction of [76]fullerene gives C76H46–50, [78]fullerene gives a broader spectrum of reduction products (consistent with the diverse isomeric composition of the parent fullerene), the most abundant species being C78H36 and C78H48(main component), and [84]fullerene yields mainly C84H48–52. In each case, reduction of the higher fullerenes is accompanied by cage breakdown to C60H36 and C70H36–40 the relative proportions of which vary with the starting fullerene. Thus reduction of [76]fullerene gave only a trace of C70H30–40, whereas [78]fullerene gave considerably more. Reduction of [84]fullerene over an extended period (5h) resulted in complete degradation to C60H36. HPLC separation of the hydrogenated fullerenes on a Cosmosil column (toluene eluent), showed them to elute more rapidly the larger the cage, as found previously for C60H36 and C70H36–40. By contrast, on the same column and under the same conditions, the parent fullerenes elute more slowly the higher the molecular weight.

A fullerene is any molecule composed entirely of carbon, in the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, tube, and many other shapes. In this paper were considered works on formation and the synthesis of fullerenes in flames in the following sections, such as, the structure and properties of fullerenes; applications of fullerenes; methods for identification of fullerenes; methods for producing fullerenes; formation and synthesis of fullerenes in flame; synthesis of fullerenes in flames with applied electrical field; mechanism of fullerenes formation. Also was presented modified scheme for soot and fullerenes formation process in flames. It has been found that if the peripheral zone of the benzene flame is heated by some external source, such as a laser beam, which not just burns the soot but also creates the same conditions as in the middle of the flame, the concentration of fullerenes increases. The increase in the yield of fullerenes in the case where a ring electrode is positioned above the peripheral part of the reaction zone of a flame is due to the glow-discharge conditions providing an effective synthesis of fullerenes.

The growth and structures of three new cocrystalsC9Cl6Br3N·C60, C9Cl6Br3N·C70, and C9Cl6H3N·3C70·3C6H5Clinvolving fullerenes and halogenated azatriquinacenes are reported. In each case, the fullerene is completely ordered and avoids the orientational disorder found in many crystalline fullerenes and fullerene cocrystals. In each structure, the upper Cl6 surface of the halogenated azatriquinacene molecule cups a fullerene. In C9Cl6Br3N·C60 and C9Cl6Br3N·C70, the molecules are arranged alternately in columns with the lower Br3 face of the azatriquinacene also interacting with a neighboring fullerene. In C9H3Cl6N·3C70·3C6H5Cl, one of the fullerenes is cupped by the upper surface of the azatriquinacene, while four chlorobenzene molecules also form a belt around it.

Fullerenes are a class of cage-like molecules made of hexagons and exactly pentagons.Depending on the so-called isolated pentagon rule(IPR),fullerenes can be divided into two different types,i.e.,IPR-satisfying and non-IPR fullerenes.In the past twenty-five years,significant efforts have been paid to explore macroscopic synthesis and novel geometric structures of fullerene.More than 60 fullerenes ranging from C20 to C104 have been reported to date,including about 40 IPR-satisfying fullerenes and 20 non-IPR fullerenes that were typically stabilized by endohedral or exohedral derivatization.In this article all the novel structures of fullerene reported so far are reviewed,the future perspective for fullerene research is commented.
