Appearance:    Granular, dark-brown powder.  Sublimed appears as deep blue-black needle-like crystals reaching 5 mm.  Thin films (< 5 mm) appear golden-brown.

Pure C60 is efficiently isolated by proprietary methods from the mixed extract (typically <80% C60) of carbon soot produced by a carbon arc operated under a sub-atmospheric helium environment.  HPLC analysis is included with sample and indicates the presence of all fullerenes including parent oxides.
 

Samples are vacuum-dried to remove residual solvent.  Typically, the hydrocarbon content is <0.5%.

Pure sublimed crystalline powders and thin films are available to meet the  stringent absolute purity requirements for solid-state research.  Hydrocarbon content typically <0.01%
