Metal complexes comprising a fullerite

A process for the preparation of a fullerite, said process comprising the admixture of metal complex MLwL'x(wherein M is a non-group 1 metal, each L and L' is a ligand and w and x are selected from 0 to 8), a fullerene or derivative thereof, a first solvent in which the fullerene or derivative is substantially soluble and a second solvent in which the fullerene or derivative is substantially insoluble, to precipitate the fullerite. In another aspect, the use of the above process for the preparation of particles of ML'ywherein y is 0 to 9, preferably by dissolving fullerites prepared according to the above mentioned process. Additionally, fullerites and particles prepared by the above processes, to matrices incorporating said fullerites and/or- particles, and to their uses. The preferred metal is Palladium and the preferred ligand is triphenylphosphine.
