C_<60> nanowhiskers were synthesized by use of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) containing different small amounts of water. The stability of C_<60> nanowhiskers in solution was markedly influenced by the water content and became less stable with increasing the water content. This phenomenon was confirmed by use of D_2O as well as H_2O. The Raman spectra of the C_<60> nanowhiskers prepared by use of the water-added IPA showed the spectra similar to those of the C_<60> nanowhiskers that were well dried in vacuum.
