Solubilization of fullerene into water with fluoroalkyl end-capped amphiphilic oligomers-novel fluorescence properties.
Solubilization of fullerene into water was studied by the use of fluoroalkyl end-capped acryloylmorpholine oligomers, N,N-dimethylacrylamide oligomers, and acrylic acid oligomers. In these fluorinated oligomers, fluoroalkyl end-capped acryloylmorpholine oligomers were more effective in solubilizing fullerene into water. Interestingly, the aqueous solutions of fullerene were applicable to fluorescence analyses.
