A cycloparaphenylene can be thought of as the shortest possible cross section of an
armchair carbon nanotube. Although envisioned decades ago, these molecules—also …

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 …

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 …

Clusters are ensembles of bound atoms intermediate in size between a molecule and a bulk
solid. Some of these clusters form stable units with atomically precise structures that give …

Tremendous progress has been made on the design and processing of new active and
interfacial materials to enable organic photovoltaics to achieve high power conversion …

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

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 …

Fullerenes are carbon molecules that form polyhedral cages. Their bond structures are
exactly the planar cubic graphs that have only pentagon and hexagon faces. Strikingly, a …

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 …

Fullerene has a definite 0D closed‐cage molecular structure composed of merely sp2‐
hybridized carbon atoms, enabling it to serve as an important building block that is useful for …
