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 …

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 …

Ever since the first experimental evidence of the existence of endohedral metallofullerenes
(EMFs) was obtained, the search for carbon cages with encapsulated metals and small …

A key characteristic of the element cerium is its reversible redox chemistry between trivalent
and tetravalent forms, which is central to the application of cerium in synthetic and materials …

Magnetic lanthanide (Ln) metal complexes exhibiting magnetic bistability can behave as
molecular nanomagnets, also known as single-molecule magnets (SMMs), suitable for …

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 electrocatalytic properties of some endohedral fullerenes for hydrogen evolution
reactions (HER) were recently predicted by DFT calculations. Nonetheless, the experimental …

Metal–cage and intracluster bonding was studied in detail by quantum theory of atoms in
molecules (QTAIM) for the four major classes of endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) …
