title: The oxidation of fullerene [C70] with various oxidants by ultrasonication.
abstract: The reaction of C70 by ultrasonication with various oxidants such as 3-chloroperoxy benzoic acid (Fluka 99%), 4-methyl morpholine N-oxide (Aldrich 97%), chromium (VI) oxide (Aldrich 99.9%), and oxone monopersulfate compound, at room temperature causes the oxidation of fullerene [C70(O)n] (n = 1-2 or n = 1). The FAB-MS, UV-visible, FT-IR spectra, and HPLC analysis confirmed that products of fullerene oxidation are [C70(O)n] (n = 1-2 or n = 1).
