The present invention relates to new compositions of matter having the formula AnCx, wherein A is a monovalent cation and Cx is a fullerene anion, preferably wherein x is equal to 60 and 70. The present invention also relates to a process for preparing the composition by applying an electrical potential to a non-aqueous solution of a fullerene and a salt containing a monovalent cation. The present invention also relates to a method for electrochemically generating fulleride salts as a solution in other hydrocarbons. The present invention also relates to a method for electrochemically preparing solid fulleride salts. The compositions may be used as electrode material in reversible electrochemical cells, superconductors, spin labels, magnetic thermometers, organic, and polymer precursors. |
