Abstract

Buckminsterfullerene (c60) and its three-dimensional crystalline phases are of considerable interest in both condensed matter chemistry/physics and materials research due to its unusual structure and extended*-electron system.'To exploit the novel electronic properties of C60 to modify the macroscopic electronic/optical response of solid surfaces, we have developed a novel method to covalently tether the c60 cage to a silicon oxide surface, ...
