Sonochemical Synthesis of C60H2
C60H2 has been synthesized by ultrasonically irradiating solutions of C-60 in decahydronaphthalene. This synthesis can be understood as a secondary reaction arising from the production of atomic hydrogen during sonolysis of the solvent. Continued sonication results in the eventual disappearance of both C-60 and C60H2 from the solution as monitored by UV-vis spectrophotometry. This disappearance, along with the complete absence of more highly hydrogenated derivatives, suggests that the C-60 experiences a high-energy environment during ultrasonic irradiation.
