The discovery of carbon fullerene cages and their solids opened a new avenue to build
materials from stable cage clusters as “artificial atoms” or “superatoms” instead of atoms …

The elucidation of geometries is the fundamental to further investigate and develop fullerene
chemistry, an epoch-making discipline since 1985. Although the geometries of fullerenes …

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

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 …

Previous characterizations of diactinide endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) Th2@ C80
and U2@ C80 have shown that although the two Th3+ ions form a strong covalent bond …

Conspectus Concrete crystallographic results of endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs)
disclose that the bonding within the metallic clusters and the interactions between the metal …

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 …

Conspectus The sub-nanometer sized void inside a fullerene cage permits the
accommodation of a single atom, atomic cluster, or even small molecule, resulting in the …

The endohedral metallic fullerenes (EMF), exhibit the interplay between stabilizing
interaction and steric hindrance effects owing to the internal size provided by the fullerene …

The isolation and structural characterization of three new monometallic uranium
metallofullerenes, U@ D 2 (21)-C84, U@ C s (15)-C86, and U@ C 1 (11)-C86, allowed us to …
