Fullerene Has Good Superconductivity and Luminescent Properties

                                                Fullerene Has Good Superconductivity and Luminescent Properties

Because the characteristics of C60 crystal structure, it exhibits promise more special physical properties .C60 is a black powder. Close degree of 1.650 ± 0.05g/ cm3, a melting point of greater than700 ℃. It has an even number of carbon atoms, symmetry good, stable structure, easy to dissolved in CS2, benzene, toluene, alkanes, and other non-polar organic solvent; in aliphatic hydrocarbons, C60 carbon solubility with solvent increasing the number of atoms increases.

Fullerene solubility:

Fullerene solubility in aliphatic hydrocarbons with solvent molecules Number increases, but generally less soluble. In Benzene and toluene has good solubility, in carbon disulfide solubility is

great. However, due to the high toxicity of carbon dioxide, it is generally not use. C60 is currently the most commonly used for dissolving solvent is toluene.

Fullerene Superconductivity;

C60 is a molecular crystal at room temperature, spectrum calculations show that the face-centered cubic solid C60 is able to 1.5eV bandgap semiconductors. After a suitable metal doping, exhibit good superconductivity.

Fullerene luminescent properties:

In a vacuum, C60 don’t have the luminescent properties. When C60 crystal adsorbed some gas, or some kind of crystal doped to C60 ingredients, even some of the groups on the grafted C60 cage or organic molecules midnight, so the original can not emit light with a luminescent molecule C60
