Abstract
The present invention relates to buckminsterfullerenes or related condensed carbon molecules covalently bonded to a polymer particle or a siliceous support particle and their use for packing media for column chromatography.
Claims13
A support particle suitable for use in chromatographic separations having a buckminsterfullerene covalently bound thereto, said particle being porous or non-porous, having an average particle diameter between about 0.1 micron and about 100.0 microns and being either directly covalently, bonded to the buckminsterfullerene, or having one or more functional groups covalently bonded by reaction with one or more pendant reactive groups of said buckminsterfullerene to bond said buckminsterfullerene to said particle.
