✦ Synopsis

The effkiencies of the decomposition of two of the commonest fullerenes, C6,, and CT,,, induced in solution by irradiation with an XeCl (,I= 308 nm) or ArF (d= 193 nm) excimer laser are compared. It was found that when a solution containing a mixture of C& and C& fullerenes in n-hexane is irradiated with an XeCl laser, the ratio of the concentrations of the und~omposed clusters C&C,, increases with irradiation time. Thus, CT0 is decomposed more efficiently than CGO under these conditions. However, experiments carried out under other conditions ( ArF excimer laser, toluene solutions, bubbling of solutions with an inert gas or oxygen) did not exhibit this effect.

In benzene solution, C60 and C7o interact weakly in the ground state with amines having favourable oxidation potentials. Picosecond time-resolved absorption measurements show that on photoexcilation, the weak complexes undergo charge separation to produce ion pairs which in turn undergo fast geminat
