Physical properties of methanol C₆₀. (A). Fullerenes suspended in water, methanol, and toluene. (B). UV/Vis absorption spectra of C₆₀ suspended in methanol at a concentration of 0.2 mg/ml. (C). Samples were excited with 488 nm and PL spectra were recorded. (D). Measurements of particle size distributions of C₆₀ in methanol (solid line) or in toluene (dashed line). (E) TEM micrograph of fullerene crystals in methanol drop-deposited onto a copper grid. Scale bar is 50 nm.
