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 …

So far, one of the fundamental limitations of organic photovoltaic (OPV) device power
conversion efficiencies (PCEs) has been the low voltage output caused by a molecular …

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 …

Since the discovery of C60fullerene, carbon-based nanostructures have become one of the
hottest research topics in science. During the past decade research efforts have mainly been …

Recent breakthroughs achieved in the chemical functionalization of endohedral
metallofullerenes (EMFs), especially single crystallographic X-ray characterizations of their …

Shortly after the discovery of the carbon fullerene allotrope, C60, researchers recognized
that the hollow spheroidal shape could accommodate metal atoms, or clusters, which quickly …

Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) are excellent carriers of rare‐earth element (REE)
ions in biomedical applications because they preclude the release of toxic metal ions …

Carbon is the most prominent element of state-of-the-art nanoscience. Kroto, Curl, and
Smalley were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1996 for discovery of fullerenes. 1− 4 …
