| Abstract | While there have been a number of fundamental studies focused on the physical and biological behaviors of C60 aggregates (nC60) in model environmental and engineered systems, the aqueous reactivity of C60 (as nC60) is much less understood and remains a critical gap in accurate life cycle modeling. In this study, facile, photo-enhanced physicochemical transformations of nC60 in the presence of free chlorine, a globally applied disinfectant, are quantitatively described. Batch reaction kinetics between nC60 and free chlorine are explored and modeled for both the ground state (dark conditions) and the photo-excited state (light irradiation conditions, UVA) over a matrix of environmentally relevant conditions (e.g., redox potentials, dissolved oxygen, light irradiation). The resulting products are described using a suite of spectroscopy techniques, including FTIR, XPS, and UV-vis, demonstrating oxidized fullerene products with varied covalent addition(s) of oxygen and chlorine atoms depending on the reaction conditions. For all conditions, UVA light irradiation (351 nm, 2 mW cm−2) significantly enhances the oxidation of nC60 by free chlorine, as indicated by both higher reaction rates and product(s) oxidation extent. Aggregation kinetic studies indicate that the resulting oxidized products, as soft clusters, are relatively more stable, compared to the parent nC60, upon photo-oxidation in the presence of monovalent (NaCl) and divalent (MgCl2) ions (via critical coagulation concentration evaluations). Further, increased product surface hydrophilicity is also demonstrated through classic water–octanol partition (Kow) experiments. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
