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 …

Metal, metal oxide, and metal chalcogenide materials have a wide variety of applications.
For example, many metal clusters and nanoparticles are used as catalysts for reactions …

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 …

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

In this tutorial review taking X-ray crystallographically characterized compounds as a starting
point a walk is taken through the electronic and structural properties of endohedral …

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 …

molecular nanomagnets, also known as single-molecule magnets (SMMs), suitable for …

Recent breakthroughs achieved in the chemical functionalization of endohedral
metallofullerenes (EMFs), especially single crystallographic X-ray characterizations of their …

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 …

The endohedral fullerene Sc3NC@ C80-I h has been synthesized and characterized; it has
an unprecedented planar quinary cluster in a fullerene cage. It is also the first chemical …
