Since 1970, when their existence was first predicted, fullerenes have attracted the attention of scientists in a wide variety of scientific fields. Numerous different compounds are needed to evaluate and estimate their chemical and physical properties, thus the isolation and purification of fullerenes and their derivatives from carbon soot mixtures is a key process. Separation of Fullerenes contains the most up-to-date innovations from the world's leaders in their rapidly developing field. Uniquely devoted to separation techniques, this book describes the different stationary phases currently used which can isolate fullerenes by liquid chromatography, and the challenges of finding or developing new stationary phases. Also discussed is the extension of the separation technique to large scale preparations, enabling scientists to obtain considerable quantities of fullerenes from one chromatographic run. The use of fullerenes as the stationary phase is also described. Covering C60, C70 and higher than C70 fullerenes, this book will be welcomed by graduates and researchers in many areas of chemistry.
