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 …

Organic electrochemistry is concerned with the reduction and oxidation of organic molecules
at electrodes. Although it is now more than 200 years ago that the so-called Volta pile was …

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 …

Conspectus A characteristic phenomenon of lanthanide–fullerene interactions is the transfer
of metal valence electrons to the carbon cage. With early lanthanides such as La, a …

The row of endohedral fullerenes is extended by a new type of sulfur-containing
clusterfullerenes: the metal sulfide (M2S) has been stabilized within a fullerene cage for the …

Azafullerenes derived from nitrogen substitution of carbon cage atoms render direct
modifications of the cage skeleton, electronic, and physicochemical properties of fullerene …

Metal–cage and intracluster bonding was studied in detail by quantum theory of atoms in
molecules (QTAIM) for the four major classes of endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) …

Abstract Supramolecular nanocapsule 1⋅(BArF) 8 is able to sequentially and selectively
entrap recently discovered U2@ C80 and unprecedented Sc2CU@ C80, simply by soaking …
