C₆₀ and C₇₀ in a Basket? – Investigations of Mono‐ and Multilayers from Azacrown Compounds and Fullerenes

Abstract

For films of C60 or C70 and azacrown compounds with long side chains, the question immediately arises whether the fullerene molecules are positioned in, between, or on the baskets (see A–C). Surface pressure-area diagrams, UV/VIS spectroscopic data, and the preliminary results of atomic force microscopy measurements are consistent with model A.
