Advanced science and technology based on carbon-based nanomaterials is experiencing a
rapid rate of change in the performance capabilities to substitute or serve as alternative …

The unique and tunable properties of carbon-based nanomaterials enable new
technologies for identifying and addressing environmental challenges. This review critically …

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 …

This book is a review of the science and technology of the element carbon and its allotropes:
graphite, diamond and the fullerenes. This field has expanded greatly in the last three …

Within the π-orbital axis vector theory, the total rehybridization required for closure of the
fullerenes is approximately conserved. This result allows the development of a structure …

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 …

The electron-accepting ability of C60, the archetypal fullerene, is its most characteristic
chemical property. It is a natural consequence of electronic structure and was anticipated in …

Life on earth is based on compounds that have carbon frames and backbones. Today,
chemists have added to the world of biomolecules and biopolymers approximately 107 …

The latest addition to this lauded series, this reference collects pioneering research on the
chemistry and physics of carbon surfaces and the structural properties of carbons. Written by …

The structure and stability of four possible isomers of C 24 and B 12 N 12 have been
investigated by means of ab initio calculations at the MP2/DZP level. The four geometries …
