Abstract

Features of the oxidation of C60 and C70 fullerites were studied by infrared spectroscopy. It was shown that for C60 fullerite, the presence of toluene residue reduces the temperature at which oxidation starts. The form of the toluene (solvate or nonsolvate) is not important. A low-frequency shift in the valence C-O-C vibrations of C70 fullerene due to local steric strains was discovered.
