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 …

Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) are a novel class of metal–carbon hybrid molecules
consisting of a fullerene shell and a metal core. Because of the presence of the internal …

Knowledge on endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) has increased dramatically during the
last decade. Numerous research findings have been reported, making it an opportune time …

Comprehensive Summary The experimental investigation of rare‐earth metal‐metal bonds
remains a challenge in the study of chemical bonds. Herein, we report the synthesis and …

Endohedral scandium fullerenes have attracted substantial interest since they were
synthesized and isolated in 1992. The Sc2C74 series including both Sc2@ C74 and …

The reported actinide-based endohedral clusterfullerenes (ECFs) are rather scarce thus far.
Though several members have been detected in mass spectra, their exact structures and …

The confined interior region of carbon nanotubes has proved to be an effective “nano-test-
tube” to conduct chemical reactions in a restricted volume. It also benefits from being thin …

A covalently‐linked salen–C60 (H2L) assembly binds a range of transition metal cations in
close proximity to the fullerene cage to give complexes [M (L)](M= Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn …

In this paper, a chemically sensitive local characterization technique is used to characterize
fullerene peapods containing two metal atoms within each fullerene. By combining bright …

In this chapter, we summarize the structure and physicochemical properties of nonmodified,
functionalized fullerenes and several applications of empty and endohedral single‐layered …
