Abstract

Stable colloidal suspensions of fullerene C₆₀ and C₇₀ in water are readily accessible by mechanical grinding a mixture of fullerene and p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene and/or imidazolium zwitterion followed by ultrasonication on the addition of water. The yellow and brown solutions for C₆₀ and C₇₀ respectively contain nano-arrays of fullerenes (40 to 130 nm in diameter) covered by a sheath of sulfonated calixarene, sulfonated imidazolium zwitterions or supermolecules of these two moieties.
