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 …

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 …

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

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 …

For the first time, actinide endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) with non-isolated-pentagon-
rule (non-IPR) carbon cages, U@ C80, Th@ C80, and U@ C76, have been successfully …

The encapsulation of metal clusters in endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) takes place in
cages that in most cases are far from being the most stable isomer in the corresponding …

Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs), namely fullerenes with metallic species encapsulated
inside, represent an ideal platform to investigate metal–metal or metal–carbon interactions …

The last two decades have witnessed major advances in the synthesis and characterization
of endohedral fullerenes. These species have interesting physicochemical properties with …

Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) are able to encapsulate up to four metal atoms. In
EMFs, metal atoms are positively charged because of the electron transfer from the …
