Abstract
There is continued interest in Nano Carbon Materials (NCMs) and two of these, Fullerene C60 and Graphene have received Nobel prizes. Low solubility in most solvents has been a stumbling block in their industrial use. We report here the successful synthesis of a new water
soluble tri-adduct of Fullerene C60 using a two-step procedure to obtain the water soluble s-Tri-(1-aziridino-2, 3-dimethoxy-benzene-5-carboxylato-6-carboxylic acid)-H-Fullerene C60-Manganese (II) Complex ( III ). Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Mass Spectrometry
(MALDI-MS) and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) studies critically helped recognize the presence of an atom of Manganese in the complex. The new complex was also characterized by Ultra violet-Visible (UV-Vis.). Fourier Transform-Infra Red (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Energy Dispersive X-ray
analysis (EDAX), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), and powder X-ray diffraction. The new compound has been shown to possess anti-cancer activity comparable to Doxorubicin, currently the most used anti-cancer drug. This new water soluble Fullerene C60-Manganese
(II) tri-adduct complex ( III ) thus holds much promise for the fields of biology, biochemistry, medicine, and materials science.
