What is it about?

Synthesis, characterization, properties and application in catalysis of a new class of hybrid materials constituted by fullerene endowed of Ionic Liquid moieties

Why is it important?

New properties have been obtained by the fusion of IL moieties in the C60 core such us an unprecedented water solubility >800 g mL-1

Perspectives

Several applications in the field of supramolecular, homogenepous and heterogeneous catalysis. Tuning of the proper anion may produce interesting electrolytes for DSSC.
