Lanthanide (Ln) compounds represent a unique chemical platform for develo** high-
temperature single-molecule magnets (SMMs). The shift in research focus from increasing …

One of the attractive properties of the hollow carbon clusters, known as fullerenes, is the
possibility to use them as robust containers for other species. Although an IUPAC …

Fullerenes have the characteristic of a hollow interior, and this unique feature triggers
intuitive inspiration to entrap atoms, ions or clusters inside the carbon cage in the form of …

Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs), a new class of hybrid molecules formed by
encapsulation of metallic species inside fullerene cages, exhibit unique properties that differ …

In this tutorial review taking X-ray crystallographically characterized compounds as a starting
point a walk is taken through the electronic and structural properties of endohedral …

Ever since the first experimental evidence of the existence of endohedral metallofullerenes
(EMFs) was obtained, the search for carbon cages with encapsulated metals and small …

The discovery of the fullerenes, the first molecular allotropes of carbon, in the gas phase in
19851 and the equally remarkable discovery of their synthesis in macroscopic amounts by …

Evidence that the bond paths of the quantum theory of atoms‐in‐molecules (QTAIM) signal
preferred quantum‐mechanical exchange channels is presented. We show how bond paths …

The elucidation of geometries is the fundamental to further investigate and develop fullerene
chemistry, an epoch-making discipline since 1985. Although the geometries of fullerenes …

The world of endohedral fullerenes was significantly enlarged over the past seven years by
the cluster fullerenes, which contain structures such as the M2C2 carbides and the M3N …
