This review summarizes the advances of the last four years in the field of fullerenes purification. Purification involves extraction from soots, which may be considered as a prepurification step, and separation by liquid chromatography, where the different stationary phases tested are listed. The authors also describe other purification techniques, like elution on molecular sieves or activated charcoal, gel permeation, and supercritical fluids purification. The authors purpose is to show the reader the general trends for obtaining pure C{sub 60} and C{sub 70}.
