Abstract

A new form of mesoporous silica with a surface area of 600 m2 g-1, mean pore radius of 5.4 nm and total pore volume of 1.9 ml g-1 uptakes C60 in toluene; on removal of toluene or the addition of fullerene complexing agents the C60 undergoes aggregation within the silica, identified by an interfullerene resonant transition at ca. 450 nm.
