Except for Ceo, lack of sufficient quantities of pure material has prevented more detailed structural characterization of the fullerenes by X-ray diffraction analysis, and even for Ceo problems of orientational disorder of the quasi-spherical molecules in the lattice have exacerbated the situation. At room temperature Cgo crystallizes in a face-centred cubic lattice (Fm3) but below 249 K the molecules become orientationally ordered and a simple cubic lattice (Po3) results. A neutron diffraction analysis of the ordered phase at 5K led to the structure shown in Fig. 8.7a this reveals that the ordering results from the fact that... 

An alternative mode for dehydrobenzoannulene decomposition was recently reported by Vollhardt et al. [58]. Non-planar hybrid 81, prepared in low yield via cyclodimerization of known triyne 82 [Eq.(3)], reacted explosively at ca. 250°C to give a nearly pure carbon residue. Solvent extraction of the black powder failed to yield soluble materials such as fullerenes however, analysis of the residue by TEM showed formation of bucky onions and bucky tubes [59], in addition... 

Now and then, projectiles from outer space cause excitement and surprises, as in January 2000, when a meteorite impacted the frozen surface of Lake Targish in Canada. It was a new type of C-chondrite with a carbon concentration of 4-5%, and probably came from a D-type asteroid (Hiroi et al., 2001). More exact analysis of the Targish meteorite showed the presence of a series of mono- and dicarboxylic acids as well as aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons (Pizzarello et al., 2001). Aromatic compounds and fullerenes were detected in the insoluble fraction from the extraction this contained planetary helium and argon, i.e., the 3He/36Ar ratio was... 

One example of a cocrystal containing BEDT-TTF and ferrocene has been reported [104]. The [(BEDT-TTF Cgob lferrocene) adduct was crystallized from a carbon disulfide solution. The unit cell has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction but the crystal structure was not reported. An infrared spectroscopic analysis indicates that the charge transfer between the BEDT-TTF and C6o molecules is quite small. It has been suggested that such complexes may offer a means to introduce iron into the fullerene lattice. 

MALDI, which is LDI utilizing a particular sample preparation). Although the performance of MALDI is superior to LDI in the analysis of many groups of compounds, LDI is still the perferred choice in some important applications, including cmde oil analysis [155], fullerene detection in rocks [156], atmospheric aerosol analysis [157], semiconductors, and surface analysis [158]. Reference 21 is a comprehensive review of the use of LDI (and several other ion sources) in analysis of inorganics.

The aim of the work was evaluation of the ability of photoexcited fullerene C60 and synthesized fullerene C60-containing composites to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and to perform comparative analysis of the state of the cells of two types (normal ones - thymocytes, and malignant ones - the cells of ascite Erhch carcinoma [EAC] and leucosis L1210) by such indexes as viability, content of LPO products, MTT test, and DNA fragmentation upon incubation in the presence of photoexcited fullerene C60. 

The abovementioned data show that the spectral characteristics of C60/PVP complexes vary depending on the PVP molecular mass and fullerene content in the complex. Therefore, the quantitative determination of fullerene concentration in such complexes by measuring their absorbance at 336 nm without extraction (Lyon et al., 2006) can give non-reliable results. For quantitative analysis of fullerene in such complexes we used the heterophase and homophase methods, based on destruction and isolation of pure fullerene C60 (Krakovjak et al., 2006). The choice of the method was determined by fullerene concentration - at concentration less... 

The above analysis provides better understanding of a complex phenomenon related to solubility of C60 in various organic solvents. We believe that similar dependences are also valid for different types of fullerenes. 

In particular for fullerenes, antioxidant properties and photodynamic activity are presented in detail, together with the analysis of gadolinium endohedrals as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. Moreover, drag delivery based on carbon nanomaterials has been illustrated.
