Review Description

Researchers have made efforts to unify the results in terms of solution chemistry and colloid science of compounds including fullerenes (C ). The most principal thermodynamic property of any compound with respect to solution chemistry is its solubility. A vast collection of solubility values in individual and mixed solvents for fullerenes, specifically C and C has been gathered. The solubility of fullerene molecules in the polar solvents is negligible despite their extremely high polarizability. The enhanced solubility in some nitrogen-containing liquids indicates the possibility of specific solvation or chemical modification of the fullerene molecule, making it worthwhile to regard such solvents as 'reactive' ones. The molar volume of the solid fullerene C is also independent of temperature and as a rule exceeds its partial molar volume in solution.
