Clustering inhibits C60 anti-oxidant effectiveness

Clustering inhibits C60 anti-oxidant effectiveness

Quantum mechanical calculations of binding energy of the C60−OH adduct as a function of C60 clustering degree indicate, despite an initial fast reaction, a slower overall conversion due to thermodynamic instability of C60−OH intermediates. The results imply that...
