Abstract:
Thin films and monoliths of mesostructured silica containing embedded monodispersed molecules of C60 may be prepared via a sol-gel route in which the C60 is added during the synthesis or via post-synthesis adsorption; evidence from diffuse reflectance spectroscopy suggests that the embedded C60 exist predominantly in monomeric form.
