An analytical method for determination of fullerenes and functionalized fullerenes in soils with high performance liquid chromatography and UV detection

- A total of eight fullerenes can be analyzed in a single run with HPLC-UV.
- The method allows the analysis of fullerenes in soil at relatively low concentrations.
- The method developed is robust, highly reproducible and relatively efficient.
- The method can be applied to the study of the environmental fate and toxicology of fullerenes.
