Physical description & handling notes
- Black odorless powder; [Alfa Aesar MSDS]
- Spherical aromatic molecule with a hollow truncated-icosahedron structure, similar to a soccer ball. /C60/
- Polyhedral cages made up of entirely five-and six-membered rings ... fullerenes contain 2(10+N) carbon atoms ... the smallest conceivable fullerene is C20, and all fullerenes must contain an even number of carbon atoms.
- Solutions of C60 fullerene in hydrocarbon solvents are magenta ... C70 fullerene are port-wine red. In some solvents C76 /and C84/ fullerene gives yellow-green solutions ... C82 fullerene has a less greenish tinge. Solutions of C78 fullerene are golden chestnut brown
- Virtually insoluble in acetone, ethers, and alcohols
- /C60/ is essentially insoluble in polar solvents, sparingly soluble in alkanes. In aromatic solvents and in carbon disulfide appreciable solubilities are observed.
GHS Hazard Classification
| Reported hazard statements | H315 (22.4%), H319 (100%), H335 (98.3%) |

H315 (22.4%): Causes skin irritation [Warning Skin corrosion/irritation]
H319 (100%): Causes serious eye irritation [Warning Serious eye damage/eye irritation]
Documented Uses
- Carbon molecules structured as fullerenes containing 12 pentagons and 'm' hexagons; [Merck Index] Used as high-performance polymer films, transistors, lubricants, anticorrosion coatings, organic photoconductors, and energy cells; [HSDB]
- C60 fullerene is an insulator but exhibits electrical conductivity when doped with electropositive metals.
- In C60-polymer composites, fast photo induced electron transfer occurs from the polymer to the C60 molecule and photoconductivity is observed. The efficiency of organic photoconductors could be improved by addition of C60. This discovery may lead to applications in xerography, laser printers, fax machines.
- The possibility of using C60 for hydrogen storage might be useful not only in energy storage cells but also in high-energy-density primary batteries.
