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 …

Fullerenes have the characteristic of a hollow interior, and this unique feature triggers
intuitive inspiration to entrap atoms, ions or clusters inside the carbon cage in the form of …

Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs), a new class of hybrid molecules formed by
encapsulation of metallic species inside fullerene cages, exhibit unique properties that differ …

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 …

Carbon-based nanomaterials have rapidly advanced over the last few decades. Fullerenes,
carbon nanotubes, graphene and its derivatives, graphene oxide, nanodiamonds, and …

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 …

The row of endohedral fullerenes is extended by a new type of sulfur-containing
clusterfullerenes: the metal sulfide (M2S) has been stabilized within a fullerene cage for the …

Metal carbido complexes bearing single-carbon-atom ligand such as nitrogenase provide
ideal models of adsorbed carbon atoms in heterogeneous catalysis. Trimetallic μ3-carbido …

The encapsulation of metal clusters in endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) takes place in
cages that in most cases are far from being the most stable isomer in the corresponding …
