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 …

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 …

Research on fullerenes occupies a unique position in the scientific arena. Synthesis and
characterisation of this nanomaterial blur the line between materials science and chemistry; …

The magnetism of DySc2N@ C80 endofullerene was studied with X-ray magnetic circular
dichroism (XMCD) and a magnetometer with a superconducting quantum interference …

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 …

Extensive semiempirical calculations of the hexaanions of IPR (isolated pentagon rule) and
non-IPR isomers of C68− C88 and IPR isomers of C90− C98 followed by DFT calculations of …

Shortly after the discovery of the carbon fullerene allotrope, C60, researchers recognized
that the hollow spheroidal shape could accommodate metal atoms, or clusters, which quickly …

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 …

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) …
