Title: Unusual rod-shaped aggregation of C70 in acetonitrile–benzonitrile solvent mixtures
Abstract: Unusual rod-shaped aggregation has been observed in acetonitrile–benzonitrile solvent mixtures. C70 remains as monomers, small aggregates and large rod-shaped aggregates in acetonitrile compositions of <∼60%, between ∼60–75% and >∼75%, respectively. The transition of the small aggregates into large rod-shaped aggregates is unique for C70, as its analogue, C60, is known to form only small spherical aggregates under similar conditions. The rod-shaped C70 aggregates could be easily separated from the solution and can be dispersed in different polar solvents including water.
