We report on the formation of surface structures by photopolymerization of C-60 and C-70 in isotropic solutions. The structures show the same periodicity of the interference patterns used for photopolymerization and behave as diffraction gratings. Mass spectrometry confirmed that the deposited material contains polymerized fullerenes, while the structure of the deposit was investigated by atomic force microscopy. We have also shown that these periodic structures are useful for inducing mesophase orientation. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
