Abstract
Face-centered cubic packing is typically observed for pristine C60 in the solid state, and one-dimensional alignment structures of pristine C60 in the solid state are extremely rare. This study presents the synthesis of novel one-dimensional aligned C60 in single-cocrystal nanosheets, formed from C60 and N,N,N′,N′-tetraphenylbenzidine (TPB). In C60/TPB, which exhibits ambipolar charge transport characteristics, TPB serves as a molecular receptor to facilitate the formation of noncovalent networks wherein C60 organizes into one-dimensional arrays. The resulting C60/TPB nanosheets give rise to a distinct absorption band in the near-infrared region, suggesting the occurrence of charge-transfer interactions between the C60 and TPB frameworks within the cocrystals.
期刊介绍:
The journal Carbon is an international multidisciplinary forum for communicating scientific advances in the field of carbon materials. It reports new findings related to the formation, structure, properties, behaviors, and technological applications of carbons. Carbons are a broad class of ordered or disordered solid phases composed primarily of elemental carbon, including but not limited to carbon black, carbon fibers and filaments, carbon nanotubes, diamond and diamond-like carbon, fullerenes, glassy carbon, graphite, graphene, graphene-oxide, porous carbons, pyrolytic carbon, and other sp2 and non-sp2 hybridized carbon systems. Carbon is the companion title to the open access journal Carbon Trends. Relevant application areas for carbon materials include biology and medicine, catalysis, electronic, optoelectronic, spintronic, high-frequency, and photonic devices, energy storage and conversion systems, environmental applications and water treatment, smart materials and systems, and structural and thermal applications.
