Abstract
A [60]fullerene-containing amphiphile bearing two ammonium groups was synthesized. When the methanol solution was left at room temperature for a few days, it was totally transformed into an organic gel. The transformation process was fully characterized by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. This is the first example for the [60]fullerene-containing organic gel.Keywords
