Porphyrins are variously substituted tetrapyrrolic macrocycles, with wide-ranging biological
and chemical applications derived from metal chelation in the core and the 18π aromatic …

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 …

Conspectus Fullerene carbon cages can encapsulate a wide variety of atoms, ions, clusters,
or small molecules inside, resulting in stable compounds with unusual structures and …

Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) are sub-nano carbon materials with diverse
applications, yet their formation mechanism, particularly for metastable isomers, remains …

Although most of the M2C2 n-type metallofullerenes (EMFs) tend to form carbide cluster
EMFs, we report herein that Lu-containing EMFs Lu2C2 n (2 n= 82, 84, 86) are actually …

Comprehensive Summary The hollow cavity of fullerenes is an ideal host for the stabilization
of a variety of otherwise unstable metallic clusters, enabling the discovery of novel …

Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs), namely fullerenes with metallic species encapsulated
inside, represent an ideal platform to investigate metal–metal or metal–carbon interactions …

Ab initio and DFT calculations reveal a very strong ferromagnetic exchange of the order of
200 cm− 1 in an endohedral radical hetero-metallo-fullerene molecule Gd2@ C79N …

A non-isolated pentagon rule metallic carbide clusterfullerene containing a heptagonal ring,
Sc2C2@ C s (hept)-C88, was isolated from the raw soot obtained by electric arc …

Direct yttrium–yttrium bonding has been a long-sought puzzle in organometallic chemistry to
understand the catalytic processes that involve yttrium. Herein, we report the first …
