Analysis of C60-fullerene fullerene derivatives and pristine fullerenes in environmental samples by ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure photoionization-mass spectrometry

In this work, a method is proposed for the simultaneous analysis of several pristine fullerenes (C60, C70, C76, C78, and C84) and three C60-fullerene derivatives (N-methyl fulleropyrrolidine, [6,6]-Phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester and [6,6]-Phenyl C61 butyric acid buthyl ester) in environmental...
