Abstract
Surrounding medium effect on the electrochemical properties of C70 was studied in 9 single, 2 mixture solvents and 7 supporting electrolytes by cyclic. voltammetry in the temperature range between 260 and 288K. The obtained results were analyzed and compared with those of C60. It was shown that, due to the different structure between C70 and C60, the degree of these medium effect on their reduction potential was different. The solvent effect on the reduction of C70 was more significant than that of C60; on the other hand, the solvophobic interaction between the larger cations of supporting electrolyte and C70 anions was weaker than that between the same cations and C60 anions. In addition, C70 redox couple showed better reversibility when the supporting electrolyte contains larger cations. C70 redox potentials were also measured as a function of temperature, and the entropy changes of C70reduction were calculated.
