Fullerene Bromides C₇₀Br_<i>n</i> (<i>n</i> = 8, 10, 14) Synthesis and Identification and Phase Equilibria in the C₇₀Br_<i>n</i> (<i>n</i> = 8, 10, 14)/Solvent Systems

The paper presents experimental data on synthesis and identification (IR, UV spectra, TG, DTG, DTA analysis) of the fullerene bromides C₇₀Br_<i>n</i> (<i>n</i> = 8, 10, 14). The data on the temperature dependence of solubility in aromatic solvents (1,2-dichlorobenzene, benzene, 1-methylbenzene, 1,2-dimethylbenzene) in the temperature range (293 to 353 )K are presented and characterized; compositions of equilibrium solid phases in binary C₇₀Br_<i>n</i> (<i>n</i> = 8, 10, 14) + aromatic solvents system are determined

Fullerenol‑<i>d</i> Solubility in Fullerenol‑<i>d</i>–Inorganic Salt–Water Ternary Systems at 25 °C

In this work, solubility in ternary systems fullerenol-<i>d</i>–NaCl–H₂O, fullerenol-<i>d</i>–Pr (NO₃) ₃–H₂O, fullerenol-<i>d</i>–YCl₃–H₂O, fullerenol-<i>d</i>–uranyl sulfate–water, and fullerenol-<i>d</i>–CuCl₂–water at 25 °C by the method of isothermal saturation in ampules was studied; a description of the results is presented

Application of carbon nanostructures in biomedicine: realities, difficulties, prospects

The review systematizes data on the wide possibilities of practical application of carbon nanostructures. Much attention is paid to the use of carbon nanomaterials in medicine for the visualization of tumors during surgical interventions, in the creation of cosmetics, as well as in agriculture in the creation of fertilizers. Additionally, we demonstrate trends in research in the field of carbon nanomaterials with a view to elaborating targeted drug delivery systems. We also show the creation of nanosized medicinal substances and diagnostic systems, and the production of new biomaterials. A separate section is devoted to the difficulties in studying carbon nanomaterials. The review is intended for a wide range of readers, as well as for experts in the field of nanotechnology and nanomedicine.</p

Modification of fullerene with amino acids as a method for obtaining biocompatible materials with a protective effect

Fullerenes and their derivatives have great potential for use as materials for medicine and biology. Fullerenes can enter into various reactions due to the presence of double bonds in their structure; it has also been repeatedly noted in the literature that the molecules have antiradical activity, biocompatibility, the ability to pass through biobarriers and immobilize various active molecules. In this work, a water-soluble adduct of C60 fullerene with glycine was synthesized, its physicochemical properties, biocompatibility were studied, and a protective effects toward collagen photodegradation as well as in the model reaction of human serum albumin glycation was shown.</p
