Abstract

Fullerene derivatives bearing long alkyl chains epitaxially adsorb on the basal plane of graphite forming well-ordered one-dimensional lamellae. Within the lamellae, the C60 moieties are organized in a zigzag-type fashion. The ordering is mainly governed by the substitution pattern and chain length of the alkyl chains. The electrochemical activity of the C60 groups is fully maintained in the surface-confined assemblies.
