[60]Fullerene chemistry for materials science applications

TL;DR: In this article, the basic principles of the organic chemistry of fullerenes, together with a description of the physicochemical properties that have made these carbon cages popular in materials science, and review the most recent achievements in functionalization of the original fullerene aimed at the creation of new molecular materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polymers containing fullerene or carbon nanotube structures

TL;DR: A review of polymeric fullerenes and carbon nanotubes can be found in this paper, where a number of functional polymers have been used to react with fullerene and CNTs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Buckybowls: Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons Related to the Buckminsterfullerene Surface

TL;DR: The synthesis, chemistry, and properties of curved-surface, polynuclear aromatics would be of great interest even if buckminsterfullerene had not been discovered as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo studies of fullerene-based materials using endohedral metallofullerene radiotracers

TL;DR: The present findings demonstrate the feasibility of using water-solubilized metallofullerene radiotracers to monitor the fate of fullerene-based materials in animals, and suggest that water- solvent-based fullerenes, in general, may be useful components in drug design.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kleider machen Leute: Heck-Reaktion im neuen Gewand†

TL;DR: The Heck-Reaktion as discussed by the authors is an example of a reaktion-based substrate with unsymmetrisch mehrfach substituierten Reaktionspartnern.

Solid C60: a new form of carbon

TL;DR: In this article, a new form of pure, solid carbon has been synthesized consisting of a somewhat disordered hexagonal close packing of soccer-ball-shaped C60 molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organic molecular soft ferromagnetism in a fullerene c60.

TL;DR: The properties of an organic molecular ferromagnet with a Curie temperature of 16.1 kelvin are described, where the ferromagnetic state shows no remanence, and the temperature dependence of the magnetization below ;Tc does not follow the behavior expected of a conventional ferromaagnet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficient production of C60 (buckminsterfullerene), C60H36, and the solvated buckide ion

TL;DR: Buckminsterfullerene, C{sub 60}, was prepared in gram quantities by contact-arc vaporization of a graphite rod in a 100-Torr atmosphere of helium, followed by extraction of the resultant graphite soot with toluene as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radical reactions of c60.

TL;DR: The radical adducts with n = 3 and 5 are stable above 50�C and have been identified by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy as the allylic R3C60 and cyclopentadienyl R5C60 radicals.
