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 …

Fullerenes are carbon molecules that form polyhedral cages. Their bond structures are
exactly the planar cubic graphs that have only pentagon and hexagon faces. Strikingly, a …

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 …

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 …

Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) are sub-nano carbon materials with diverse
applications, yet their formation mechanism, particularly for metastable isomers, remains …

The elucidation of geometries is the fundamental to further investigate and develop fullerene
chemistry, an epoch-making discipline since 1985. Although the geometries of fullerenes …

The smallest fullerene to form in condensing carbon vapor has received considerable
interest since the discovery of Buckminsterfullerene, C60. Smaller fullerenes remain a …

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 …

Hundreds of members have been synthesized and versatile applications have been
promised for endofullerenes (EFs) in the past 30 y. However, the formation mechanism of …
