[The negative temperature effect of UV absorbance on C60 in different solvents].
Ultraviolet Absorption Spectrum of Difference in Temperature (UVSDT) of C60 was studied in different solvents by UV-240 ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. Two samples were tested, one of which acted as reference sample and the other as ready test sample. During the period of the experiment, the temperature of the reference sample remained constant, while that of the ready test sample was changed to obtain difference in temperature. The two samples were scanned in succession by UV-240 ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer using a certain range of wavelength. By changing the temperature of the ready test sample, we can get the ultraviolet absorption spectrum changing curve with temperature differential. In addition, the curve was studied by putting C60 in different solvents (alcohol, cyclohexane, n-hexane and 2-propanol). The curve indicates that the intensity of the absorption peak wavelength of C60 decreased with increasing the temperature of the sample, and a negative peak was observed in UVSDT. And the greater the difference in temperature, the higher the intensity of the negative peak. The result reflects that the structure of C60 depends strongly on its temperature, and the dependent relationship is closely related to the type of pi-pi electron transition. So it's valuable to test the absorption rate of C60 and obtain the changing curve in real time. It'll help us to separate, purify, analyze, and characterize C60. And it'll also help to do research on the mechanism of the chemical reactions, which take place in solvents, as well as to improve veracity.
