Description

Fullerene-C84 is a higher-order member of the fullerene family, a distinct allotrope of carbon characterized by a closed cage structure of 84 carbon atoms. This high-purity material is valued for its unique electronic and photophysical properties, which differ from the more common C60 and C70 fullerenes. It is essential for advanced research and development in nanotechnology, materials science, and organic electronics, serving specialized applications where specific molecular size and symmetry are critical.

Quality Control

Our Fullerene-C84 is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including HPLC, mass spectrometry, and NMR to confirm identity and quantify isomeric composition and impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, solvent residues, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to support your research and quality assurance requirements.

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. Keep the container sealed under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen to minimize potential oxidation over extended periods.
