title: Room temperature liquid fullerenes: an uncommon morphology of C60 derivatives.
abstract: Room temperature liquid C60 derivatives bearing a 2,4,6-trialkyloxyphenyl branch show a dramatic decrease in viscosity with an increase in the length of the alkyl chains. This feature, when combined with electrochemical activities similar to those of pristine C60 and relatively high charge carrier mobility, makes them an extremely attractive novel carbon material for future applications in materials science.
