Functionalized fullerene nanostructures are a distinct class of materials that exhibit the
combined properties of both fullerene and nanostructures including excellent optoelectronic …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Encapsulating atoms or molecules inside fullerene cages could give rise to a myriad of
novel molecules and materials. The existence of such species is now strongly supported by …

Life on earth is based on compounds that have carbon frames and backbones. Today,
chemists have added to the world of biomolecules and biopolymers approximately 107 …

THE synthesis of fullerenes encapsulating various metal atoms within the carbon cage
(endohedral metallofullerenes) has stimulated wide interest1, 2 because of their unusual …

Biodistribution studies of a water-soluble radioactive metallofullerene compound have been
conducted using BALB/c mice. To this end, a sample containing Hox@ C82 (x= 1, 2) was …

The endohedral discandium fullerenes, Sc2@ C74, Sc2@ C82, and Sc2@ Cg4, have been
isolated for the first time from soot preparedby the arc burning of Sc2C> 3/graphite …
