Abstract

Fullerene C60 can be considered an interesting molecule for the preparation of new materials with attractive optical properties. In the present work we report the preparation of sol-gel derived, glass-like materials containing C60 and a C60 derivative prepared by 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of azomethine ylides to C60. The optical characterisation of the films confirms the presence of C60 and its derivative, in the glass matrix.
