Self assembly of amphiphilic C<sub>60 </sub>fullerene derivatives into nanoscale supramolecular structures

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The amphiphilic fullerene monomer (AF-1) consists of a "buckyball" cage to which a Newkome-like dendrimer unit and five lipophilic C<sub>12 </sub>chains positioned octahedrally to the dendrimer unit are attached...
