Some c60-olive oil solutions are orange while others are purple.

 

The original solution made in "The prolongation of the lifespan of rats by repeated oral administration of [60]fullerene" was purple.

 

c60 dissolved in a variety of organic solvents (e.g. benzene) turns the solution orange

 

Why are these orange products orange?

 

The orange product from vaughter wellness claims to have 0.1mg/ml more c60 than both the other commercial purple product and the original solution in the study (0.9 mg/ml as opposed to 0.8 mg/ml), but i cant imagine this making up the difference in color.

 

Anybody know?

I don't have a good answer, but I found this paper which has a lot of examples.

Just started a thread along similar lines

The Baati paper says C60 aggregated in oil solutions is brown, and C60 tends to aggregate in all solvents.

 

Maybe the different concentration is a different colour?

 

HPLC would show what's going on.

 

Hopefully the vendors tell the truth about their preparation methods.
