General description

Insoluble small gap fullerenes can be extracted into organic solvents by simple chemical redox process.
Small gap fullerene-ethyl nipecotate are higher order fullerenes with low HOMO-LUMO gaps. These allotropes of carbon are also known as metallofullerenes. They are kinetically unstable and are considered as insoluble small band gap structures. Small gap fullerene-ethyl nipecotate can be extracted into organic solvents by a chemical redox processes.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Find details here.
