The physicochemical behavior of fullerene C 60 in hydrocarbon solvents is examined by isothermal titration calorimetry, photocalorimetry, and UV spectroscopy. The obtained data are summarized to substantiate the idea of the binary fullerene/solvent cluster as a colloidal nanoentity that moderates noncovalent interactions of the C 60 molecule in solution. This idea serves to aid understanding of the complex physicochemical behavior of tert ‐butyl‐substituted phthalocyanine in C 60 ‐saturated o ‐xylene under illumination with low‐energy photons. The proposed experimental approach, which focuses on concentrated solutions and is applicable to multicomponent systems, is discussed as a potential tool of materials science.
