Embedding Fullerenes in Thin Sol-Gel Films

MRS Online Proceedings Library volume 359, pages351–356(1994)Cite this article

Abstract

Fullerene C60 can be considered an interesting molecule for the preparation of new materials with attractive optical properties. In the present work we report the preparation of sol-gel derived, glass-like materials containing C60 and a C60 derivative prepared by 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of azomethine ylides to C60. The optical characterisation of the films confirms the presence of C60 and its derivative, in the glass matrix.
