Abstract

Complex formations in C60 solutions have previously been observed in diethylaniline. In a wide survey of solvents conducted in our laboratory, several additional solvents exhibited complexing behavior with C60 when analyzed with UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. All solvents with complexing behavior contained nitrogen. They are benzonitrile, N-methylpyrrolidone, and triphenylamine. A careful study was done to characterize the formation of the complexes formed in C60/toluene solutions when each complexing agent was added. Diethylaniline was added to the study as a reference complexing system. Formation of the complexes was followed with UV-Vis and fluorescense spectroscopy. Nash plots of the complexes were done to determine the equilibrium constant and the isosbestic point for each system. Nonlinear optical characterization of the complexing solvents was analyzed.
