What is Diversity in Nanosystems: Fullerenes about?

This chapter discusses diversity in nanosystems, specifically fullerenes and carbon clusters. It describes the discovery of buckminsterfullerene (C60) through laser vaporization of graphite followed by time-of-flight mass spectrometry which showed peaks only for C60 and C70. The chapter outlines processes for synthesizing and purifying fullerenes from graphite rods using toluene extraction and chromatography. It also discusses dendritic growth of methanofullerenes and addition of C2 groups to C60 through hi
