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 …

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

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 …

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 …

The magnetism of DySc2N@ C80 endofullerene was studied with X-ray magnetic circular
