Abstract

The self assembly of C60-N, N′-dimethylpyrrolidinium iodide (C60-DMePyI) in binary liquid mixtures has been investigated. C60-DMePyI self-organized into nanosheets in a mixture of toluene and iodomethane, and aggregated to form nanofibers in toluene. The dimensions of the nanosheets were several micrometers in length and about 100 nm in thickness. Scanning electron microscope observations indicated that a large number of nanorods having a diameter of about 20-nm formed matted nanosheets. When iodomethane alone was used as a solvent, supramolecular structures such as nanofibers and nanosheets were not produced. Structural analyses of the C60-DMePyI aggregates were carried out by laser Raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The Raman spectroscopic results suggested that an ordered chain of successive polyiodine units was formed in all the supramolecular aggregates. The XRD studies showed that the crystal systems of the nanosheets and nanofibers were monoclinic, though with different unit cells.
