Abstract

The formation in water of highly stable cluster/crystalline structures from C60 is theoretically predicted and experimentally demonstrated. Using the atom-atom potential method, the dense-packing and symmetry principles, and the structure of C60 aggregates in water solution were calculated. The spherical clusters 3.56 nm in diameter containing 33 C60 molecules were shown to the most stable among possible hydrated aggregates. The possibility for the existence of stable hydrated crystallites having a minimum linear size of 2.86 nm in water solution is also indicated.
