In 1985, the serendipitous discovery of fullerene triggered the research of carbon structures
into the world of symmetric nanomaterials. Consequently, Robert F. Curl, Harold W. Kroto …

This review covers the use of 2-azaallyl anions, 2-azaallyl cations, and 2-azaallyl radicals in
organic synthesis up through June 2018. Particular attention is paid to both foundational …

An overview of the various carbon structures with characteristic sizes in the nanoscale
region is presented, with special attention devoted to the structures and properties of …

The fullerene family, and especially C60, has very appealing photo-, electro-chemical and
physical properties, which can be exploited in many and different biological fields. Fullerene …

This Account reviews our main achievements in the field of excited-state properties of
fullerene derivatives. The photosensitizing and electron-acceptor features of some relevant …

Upon contact with water, under a variety of conditions, C60 spontaneously forms a stable
aggregate with nanoscale dimensions (d= 25− 500 nm), termed here “nano-C60”. The color …

The study of the biological applications of fullerenes has attracted increasing attention
despite the low solubility of the carbon spheres in physiological media. The organic …

The nascent state of the nanoproduct industry calls for important early assessment of
environmental impacts before significant releases have occurred. Clearly, the impact of …

Fullerenes are soccer ball-shaped molecules composed of carbon atoms, and, when
derivatized with functional groups, they become soluble and can act as photosensitizers …

Research on fullerenes occupies a unique position in the scientific arena. Synthesis and
characterisation of this nanomaterial blur the line between materials science and chemistry; …
