Determination of the thermal stability of the fullerene dimers C 120, C120O, and C120O2
We have produced the fullerene dimers C120, C120O, and C120O2 by a high-speed vibration milling technique. The thermal stability of C120, C120O, and C 120O2 has been studied in the temperature range 150-350°C for up to 4 h under vacuum. The bridging oxygen atoms were found to substantially increase...

| Summary: | We have produced the fullerene dimers C120, C120O, and C120O2 by a high-speed vibration milling technique. The thermal stability of C120, C120O, and C 120O2 has been studied in the temperature range 150-350°C for up to 4 h under vacuum. The bridging oxygen atoms were found to substantially increase the stability of the fullerene dimer molecules. © 2006 American Chemical Society. |
