The low or lack of solubility of fullerenes, carbon nanotubes and graphene/graphite in
organic solvents and water severely hampers the study of their chemical functionalizations …

When buckminsterfullerene was discovered in 1985, 1 Kroto suggested that it could be “the
first example of a spherical aromatic molecule”. Later, at about the time when Krätschmer …

Aromaticity, 1 one of the most important concepts in chemistry, is confined not only to planar
twodimensional (2D) molecules but also can be extended to diverse structures of other …

The discovery of the fullerenes, the first molecular allotropes of carbon, in the gas phase in
19851 and the equally remarkable discovery of their synthesis in macroscopic amounts by …

The covalent functionalization of C60 has developed vigorously over the past 5 years.
Several methods are now available for the formation of C60 monoadducts. Regioselective …

Redox‐active fullerenes can be covalently bound to a variety of donors, their photophysical
