Since their discovery in 1985 1 and their production on a preparative scale 5 years later, 2
fullerenes have attracted a great deal of attention. Their chemical modification has emerged …

Encapsulating atoms or molecules inside fullerene cages could give rise to a myriad of
novel molecules and materials. The existence of such species is now strongly supported by …

The discovery of fullerenes (also known as buckyballs) has generated tremendous
excitement and opened up a new field of carbon chemistry. As the first book available on this …

Electrets are dielectric materials that have a quasi-permanent dipole polarization. A single-
molecule electret is a long-sought-after nanoscale component because it can lead to …

Endohedral metallofullerenes (fullerenes with metal atom (s) encapsulated) are novel forms
of fullerene-based materials which have attracted wide interest during the past eight years …

Open carbon nanotubes were filled with molten silver nitrate by capillary forces. Only those
tubes with inner diameters of 4 nanometers or more were filled, suggesting a capillarity size …

TROPOSPHERIC aerosols are thought to have three important effects on the Earth's
radiation budget: the direct radiative effect1 (pertur-bation of clear-sky reflectivity), the …

THE synthesis of fullerenes encapsulating various metal atoms within the carbon cage
(endohedral metallofullerenes) has stimulated wide interest1, 2 because of their unusual …

Palladium nanoparticles (4–6nm) were deposited inside multi-walled carbon nanotubes
(MWNTs) via a simple impregnation using an aqueous solution containing a palladium salt …

Cycloparaphenylene ([11] CPP) selectively encapsulates La@ C82 to form the shortest
possible metallofullerene–carbon nanotube (CNT) peapod, La@ C82⊂[11] CPP, in solution …
