Control over Tuning Fullerene Microcrystals by Means of Engineering Charge-Transfer Interactions

Multifunctional fullerene microcrystals have been prepared by the involvement of water in the liquid–liquid interfacial precipitation. The resulting microcrystals were characterized microscopically and spectroscopically. The role of water in engineering charge-transfer interactions between fullerenes and electron-donating solvents has been corroborated through thermogravimetric and transient absorption spectroscopy analyses
