Abstract:

Flowerlike supramolecular architectures were fabricated from fulleropyrrolidines bearing a small para-, meta-, or ortho-nitrophenyl group. The self-assembled architectures were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD). It was found that these flowerlike architectures were assembled from nanoplates that formed from fundamental subunit of interdigitated lamellar bilayer structure.

Key words: Fullerene, Self-assembly, Flowerlike architecture
