Synopsis

Endohedral fullerenes represent a novel family of carbon nanostructures, which are characterized by a robust fullerene cage with atoms, ions, or clusters trapped in its interior. Since the first separation of the endohedral metallofullerene La@C82 in 1991, a large variety of endohedral structures have been isolated and their endohedral nature has been proved by experimental studies. Within the past two decades, the world of endohedral fullerenes was significantly enlarged by the clusterfullerenes and the new carbon cages including non-IPR (IPR=isolated pentagon rule) structures. Resulting from the charge transfer from the encaged species to the fullerene cage, endohedral fullerenes hold a lot of fascinating properties inaccessible by the empty fullerenes, and consequently promise potential applications in biomedicine, molecular electronics and photonics etc.The book provides a comprehensive overview of endohedral fullerenes focused on the new advances in the past decade, including its fundamentals (structures), synthesis, isolation, characterization, properties, functionalization as well as the applications, thus representing the most updated and broad review of this exciting field.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

“I recommend this up-to-date, comprehensive volume to researchers and professionals working with fullerenes and carbon nanomaterials as well as to advanced undergraduate and graduate students and the more general reader interested in this relatively new exciting field with myriad potential applications.” Chemistry & Industry “The editors have done excellent work in compiling this book. As a whole, it is an invaluable source for all advanced undergraduates and graduate students, scientists in Chemistry, Physics, and Materials Science, researchers and professionals who are interested in endohedral fullerenes and all-carbon nanomaterials. It provides the most up-to-date survey of the area, and is highly recommended.” Emeritus Professor Takeshi Akasaka University of Tsukuba, Japan Endohedral fullerenes represent a novel family of carbon nanostructures, which are characterized by a robust fullerene cage with atoms, ions, or clusters trapped in its interior.
