It is of common knowledge that fullerenes form colloids in polar solvents. However, the coagulation via electrolytes and the origin of the negative charge of species are still unexplored. Using a ‘radical scavenger’ and electrospray ionization spectroscopy (ESI), we proved the formation of ion-radical C60˙− and its (probable) transformation into C602− or (C60)22−. The coagulation of C60 organosols by NaClO4 and other perchlorates and nitrates in acetonitrile and its mixture with benzene obeys the Schulze–Hardy rule. At higher Ca(ClO4)2 and La(ClO4)3 concentrations, instead of coagulation, stable re-charged colloidal particles appeared, up to a zeta-potential of +(20–42) mV, as compared with −(33–35) mV of the initial organosols. The influence of both HClO4 and CF3SO3H was similar. This phenomenon is attributed to poor solvation of inorganic cations in cationo- and protophobic acetonitrile, which was proven using [2.2.2] cryptand. Further increasing the concentration of Ca(ClO4)2 led again to coagulation, thus demonstrating a novel type of ‘coagulation zones’.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
