It is of common knowledge that fullerenes form colloids in polar solvents. However, the coagulation via electrolytes and the origin of the negative charge of species are still unexplored. Using a 'radical scavenger' and electrospray ionization spectroscopy (ESI), we proved the formation of ion-radical C60˙(-) and its (probable) transformation into C60(2-) or (C60)2(2-).
