Abstract

New amphiphilic[60]fullerene monoadduct TPF and bisadducts BTPF were synthesized and well-characterized. Their aggregation properties in aqueous solution was investigated by UV–vis and TEM methods. In aqueous solution, monoadduct TPF forms irregularly shaped and some rod-like aggregates, whereas bisadducts BTPF gives spherical aggregates with diameters of 50–150 nm. It indicated that the aggregation properties of amphiphilic fullerene derivatives depend on the number of hydrophilic appendage on the C60 cage.
