title: The oxidation of fullerene[C60] with various amine N-oxides under ultrasonic irradiation.
abstract: The reaction of C60 with various amine N-oxides such as 3-picoline N-oxide (Aldrich 98.0%), pyridine N-oxide hydrate (Aldrich 95.0%), quinoline N-oxide (Aldrich 97.0%), isoquinoline N-oxide (Aldrich 98.0%) under ultrasonic irradiation in air at 25-43 degrees C causes the oxidation of fullerene[C60(O)n] (n=1-2 or n=1). The MALDI-TOF MS, UV-vis spectra, and HPLC profile confirmed that the products of fullerene oxidation are [C60(O)n] (n=1-2 or n=1).
