Endohedral fullerenes characterize a singular family members of carbon nanostructures, that are characterised through a strong fullerene cage with atoms, ions, or clusters trapped in its inside. because the first separation of the endohedral metallofullerene La@C82 in 1991, a wide number of endohedral buildings were remoted and their endohedral nature has been proved via experimental reports. in the earlier 20 years, the realm of endohedral fullerenes used to be considerably enlarged by way of the clusterfullerenes and the hot carbon cages together with non-IPR (IPR=isolated pentagon rule) buildings. due to the cost move from the encaged species to the fullerene cage, endohedral fullerenes carry loads of attention-grabbing houses inaccessible by means of the empty fullerenes, and for this reason promise capability functions in biomedicine, molecular electronics and photonics etc.
The ebook offers a finished assessment of endohedral fullerenes fascinated with the hot advances long ago decade, together with its basics (structures), synthesis, isolation, characterization, houses, functionalization in addition to the functions, hence representing the main up-to-date and huge assessment of this interesting field.
