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 …

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

Organic electrochemistry is concerned with the reduction and oxidation of organic molecules
at electrodes. Although it is now more than 200 years ago that the so-called Volta pile was …

Ever since the first experimental evidence of the existence of endohedral metallofullerenes

Fullerene, an allotropic form of carbon made up of spherical molecules formed from
pentagonal and hexagonal rings, was first discovered in 1985. Because fullerenes have …

One of the most exciting features of C60 and the higher fullerenes is that their carbon cages
have inner cavities large enough to hold any atom and even small molecules.[1, 2] The …
