Abstract

Photothermal  and  optoacoustic  spectroscopy  in their  state-of-the-art  techniques—multiwavelength, scanning  and  transient—are  used  for  complex investigation  and analysis  (chemical  analysis  and the  estimation  of  physicochemical  properties and size)  of  novel  carbon  materials—fullerenes  and nanodiamonds—and  their aqueous  dispersions  as promising biomedical nanosystems. The estimation of the cluster size and the possibilities to determine subnanogram  amounts  of  both nanodiamonds  and fullerenes  by  these  techniques  are  shown.  The comparison  of fullerene  solutions  in  various solvents,  toluene, N-methylpyrrolydone and  water, is made.  The  advantages  of  the  photothermal  and optoacoustic  techniques  over conventional spectroscopies  and  the  current  limitation  are discussed. The necessity to develop robust  models for  transient  and  imaging  photothermal  techniques is outlined.
