The compound C60 was successively predicted, 1, 2 revealed, 3 and prepared in
macroscopic quantities 4 within a 20 year period from 1970 to 1990. This molecule repeats …

Open-cage fullerene derivatives have excited organic chemists' creativity over the past
decade. These adducts, generated via consecutive cleavage of σ-and π-carbon–carbon …

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 book has four main parts. In the first part the discussion centers on inorganic synthesis
reactions, dealing with inorganic synthesis and preparative chemistry under specific …

Novel anti-oxidants based on the buckminsterfullerene molecule were explored as
neuroprotective agents in cortical cell cultures exposed to excitotoxic and apoptotic injuries …

Abstract Hydroxylated C 60 Fullerene (Fullerol) induced photochemical production of
reactive oxygen species (ROS, eg singlet oxygen (1 O 2) and hydroxyl radical (radical dot …

Radiation dermatitis is a common but torturous side effect during radiotherapy, which greatly
decreases the life quality of patients and potentially results in detrimental cessation of tumor …

Using a novel hydrogen peroxide heating method, we synthesized milky white, water-
soluble polyhydroxylated fullerenes (fullerenols) with 36–40 hydroxyl groups (estimated …

The fullerenes have been established as new and versatile building blocks in organic
chemistry. A large number of fascinating fullerene derivatives, especially of the icosahedral …

(S2P) and carbon (Cu) absorption bands in the XPS spectrum. We resolved an average of
10 to 12 hydroxyl addends in the chemicalstructure of fullerenols that can be correlated to …
