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 world of endohedral fullerenes was significantly enlarged over the past seven years by
the cluster fullerenes, which contain structures such as the M2C2 carbides and the M3N …

Metal–cage and intracluster bonding was studied in detail by quantum theory of atoms in
molecules (QTAIM) for the four major classes of endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) …

Abstract In 1996 Sir Harold W. Kroto, Robert F. Curl and Richard E. Smalley were honored
with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of fullerenes. The advent of these new …

The first derivatives of Y3N@ C80 have been synthesized and fully characterized. 1, 3-
Dipolar cycloaddition of N-ethylazomethine ylide yielded mainly the pyrrolidine monoadduct …

The field of nanoscience was pioneered in the 1980s with the groundbreaking research on
clusters, which later led to the discovery of fullerenes. Handbook of Nanophysics: Clusters …

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 …

The family of endohedral fullerenes was significantly enlarged within the past six years by
the clusterfullerenes containing structures like the M2C2 carbides and the M3N nitrides …

The first pyrrolidine adduct on Sc3N@ C80 was synthesized and fully characterized.
Addition of the N-ethylazomethine ylide occurs regioselectively on a [5, 6] double bond on …
