Abstract

In this paper we will describe the production, separation and characterization of the new all carbon molecules, C60 and C70. High performance liquid chromatography HPLC is used to obtain purified samples of C60 and C70, which are subsequently characterized by electron impact and chemical ionization mass spectrometry, IR and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, NMR, ESR, scanning tunnelling microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and x-ray absorption fine structure measurements.
