ORGANOMETALLIC COMPLEXES OF FULLERENES VI. Physical Properties and Chemical Reactivity... 

In this review article, conductivity and superconductivity in doped fullerenes are described with reference to important literature. The review covers the geometry of the fullerenes (Cgo and tubules), and the structure of their solids before and after doping, being followed by the electronic properties found in fullerenes and doped fullerenes. Conductivity and superconductivity of alkali-metal C o (AxC o, here A is the alkali-metal and X can generally vary from 1 to 6) fullerides are discussed and compared with those encountered in conventional conductors and superconductors. The formation of charge-transfer complexes of C o with other organic systems and structural/physical properties reported for them are also discussed. Lowdimensional polymer phases made in the stoichiometry... 

Abstract. A comparative investigation of Cgo fullerene solubility and donor force of alkyl derivatives of benzene has been performed. Based on the found correlation, which was determined by current methods, between C60 solubility and donor force of solvents, it has been concluded that the process of C60 dissolution in aromatic hydrocarbons is a process of intermolecular interaction combined with charge-transfer and formation of complexes of the donor-acceptor type. The agreement between a series of physical and chemical phenomena (factors, properties) observed in studies of C60 solubility and a number of existing criteria which allow the phenomena to be inteipreted as a manifestation of the charge-transfer interaction substantiates our conclusion.
