Description

Fullerene C76 is a distinct, higher-order member of the fullerene family, characterized by its unique 76-carbon cage structure. This compound matters for advanced research and development due to its specific electronic and photophysical properties, which differ from the more common C60 and C70 fullerenes. It is primarily needed by researchers and product developers in nanotechnology, organic electronics, and materials science for applications ranging from novel semiconductors to biomedical imaging agents.

Application

• Research and development of novel organic photovoltaic (OPV) materials and devices.
• Component in advanced organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and other molecular electronic systems.
• Investigation as a contrast agent or drug delivery vehicle in biomedical research.
• Catalyst support or active component in specialized catalytic systems.
• Additive for enhancing the mechanical or electrical properties of composite polymers.
• Fundamental studies in supramolecular chemistry and host-guest interactions.
• Precursor material for the synthesis of endohedral metallofullerenes or other functionalized derivatives.
• Standard reference material in analytical chemistry for fullerene identification and quantification.

Quality Control

Our Fullerene C76 is produced and handled under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and identity confirmation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. For long-term storage, keeping the material under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen is recommended to prevent potential oxidation.
