APPLICATIONS
Fullerene is a large molecule composed of carbon entirely. The general formula is Cn, where n is even number from 32. Their shapes are roughly spherical similar to graphite with a surface net of carbon atoms connected in hexagonal and pentagonal rings. The most common one is C60(also known as "buckyball"). Fullerene is formed when vaporized and condensed carbon are combined in an inert gas. They have very high thermal and oxidative stability. They don't break but just separate from the solid intact. They are fairly insoluble in many solvents. The properties and applications are under research for the fields include;
  • Diamond mimics
  • Catalysts
  • Cosmetics
  • Superconductors
  • Abrasive agent for cutting and grinding applications.
  • Dyes and Pigments
  • Electrodes
  • Lubricant additive
  • Antioxidant for medicinal uses
  • Antibiotics to target bacteria
  • Anticancer to certain cells
  • Photoactive polymers

Recently DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene) is used in fullerene purification in a form of mixture with trimethylbenzene. DBU reacts to C70 and higher fullerenes but not to C60 fullerenes.
