Fullerene has 70 carbon atoms with a cage-like
fused-ring structure resembling a rugby ball. Fullerenes are sparingly soluble
in an aromatic solvent, e.g., toluene and carbon disulfide. It is similar to
electron-deficient alkenes. It also reacts with electron-rich species. C70
Fullerene can also be used in the quantitative analysis of river sediment and
soils. They are also incorporated into titanium oxide-based nanowires forming
the nanocomposites for light-responsive photocatalysts. Other applications
include antioxidants, antimicrobial activities, and drug delivery.
