Abstract
Based on a comprehensive review of the calculated and experimental data obtained in this and previous articles by the authors, a phenomenological model of the supramolecular structure of fullerene solutions is proposed. The model suggests the development in the fullerene solutions of some zero density regions due to poor packing of spheroidal fullerene molecules C60 and C70, on the one hand, and columnar or ribbon supramolecular structures formed by solvent molecules, on the other. It is assumed that the source of the long-range energy of fullerenes is a physical vacuum, concentrated not only in the cavities of the fullerene molecules but also in new regions forming outside the fullerenes during their dissolving in single-ring aromatic solvents.
