Trapping of solvent by a C60 fullerene film

Abstract

Mass spectrometry was used over a wide temperature range to compare processes of solvent (toluene) release and desorption of C60 fullerene molecules from a fullerite film formed from solution on an oxidized metal substrate. It is shown that toluene is strongly retained in the fullerite film and that it is almost impossible to remove the toluene from the film without damaging its structure. Quantitative characteristics of the toluene retention and trapping effect are determined.
