Abstract

Fullerene C60 solutions in various monocyclic aromatic solvents (AS) diluted by tetrahydrofurane (THF) were studied using UV spectroscopy. An algorithm was proposed which made it possible to obtain the data from the UV spectra of (C60+AS) solutions in THF which pointed to the difference between the packing density of AS molecules in solvation shell of C60 and that in the pure AS solvent. The presence of asymmetrical substituents in the AS molecule has been shown to result in loosening of solvent structure in the solvation shell, while the absence of the substituents or presence of symmetrical substituents leads to compacting of solvent structure.
