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 …

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 …

The idea that fullerenes might be able to encapsulate atoms and molecules has been
verified by the successful synthesis of a range of endohedral fullerenes, in which metallic or …

Y2@ C79N and Tb2@ C79N have been prepared by conducting the Krätschmer− Huffman
electric-arc process under 20 Torr of N2 and 280 Torr of He with metal oxide-doped graphite …

We report the seminal experimental isolation and DFT characterization of pristine [5, 5] C130-
D5h (1) fullertubes. This achievement represents the largest soluble carbon molecule …

Conspectus During the last 30 years, theoretical scientists imagined segmental families of
monolayer carbon tubules with fullerene-based end-caps. These fullertube molecules would …

Dysprosium-based trimetallic nitride endohedral fullerenes (clusterfullerenes) the Dy3N@
C2 n (38≤ n≤ 49) family have been produced at overwhelming yields compared to the …

The review summarizes data on dipole polarizability of fullerenes and their derivatives,
covering the most widespread classes of fullerene-containing molecules (fullerenes …

A new family of endohedral fullerenes, based on an encaged trithulium nitride (Tm3N)
cluster, was synthesised, isolated and characterised by HPLC, mass spectrometry, and …

This overview presents the recent progress in the area of endohedral metallofullerenes in
the past several years. The important results have been summarized as follows:(1) Many …
