Size controlled fullerene nanoparticles prepared by guest exchange of γ-cyclodextrin complexes in water†
Abstract
Fullerene nanoparticles (nCx; x = 60 or 70) with a monodisperse size and morphology are obtained through guest exchange of a γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) complex. The size of nCx could be controlled by changing the initial concentration of the Cx–γ-CD complexes.
