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.
