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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Nanostructured materials may be defined as those materials whose structural elements-
clusters, crystallites or molecules-have dimensions in the 1 to 100 nm range. The explosion …

Ab initio molecular orbital and nonlocal density functional calculations show that the C2v
endohedral structure is most stable for M@ C82 (M= Sc, Y, La and lanthanides), in which M …

Over the past two decades methods have been developed to produce clusters with an
exactly determined number of atoms. Due to their finite size these small particles have totally …

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

Carbon nanostructures (the fullerenes and the carbon nanotubes) have become
increasingly important during the last 15 years concerning both their basic physical and …
