Write the characteristic uses of fullerence. |
|
Answer» C60 dissolves in hydrocarbon solvents such as hexane, benzene, toluene etc giving magenta solutions. Fullerenes are the least stable of the carbon allotropes and graphite is the most stable. Fullerenes react with alkali metals to produce solids having composition such as K3 C60. This compound acts as a superconductor below 18K. Fullerene C114 has more surface area and can withstand a very high temperature. Hence it can be used as a lubricant in satellites. Fullerenes are used as industrial catalyst and as lubricant in the treatment of cancer. |
