Lanthanide (Ln) compounds represent a unique chemical platform for developing high-
temperature single-molecule magnets (SMMs). The shift in research focus from increasing …

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 …

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 …

We review nonlinear optical processes in various materials which can be utilized in passive
optical limiting devices. Specifically, the mechanisms of reverse saturable absorption, two …

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 …

Nanostructured materials may be defined as those materials whose structural elements-
clusters, crystallites or molecules-have dimensions in the 1 to 100 nm range. The explosion …

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 …

Carbon-based nanomaterials have rapidly advanced over the last few decades. Fullerenes,
carbon nanotubes, graphene and its derivatives, graphene oxide, nanodiamonds, and …
