Electrochemistry of fullerene C₆₀ embedded in a gel-like membrane of tetraoctylphosphonium bromide on an electrode in aqueous solution

In this communication, we describe the first finding that fullerene C₆₀ embedded in a gel-like membrane formed from tetraoctylphosphonium bromide on an electrode in an aqueous system gives stable electrochemistry leading to the formation of C₆₀^-, C₆₀^2- and C₆₀^3-.
