The low or lack of solubility of fullerenes, carbon nanotubes and graphene/graphite in organic solvents and water severely hampers the study of their chemical functionalizations and practical applications. Covalent and noncovalent functionalizations of fullerenes and related materials via ...

Cocrystallization of Hg{Co(CO)4}2 with C60 produces Hg{Co(CO)4}2·C60·toluene in which the geometry of the Hg{Co(CO)4}2 molecule is rearranged to fit between the remarkably well ordered fullerenes.

Applying density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we have designed fullerenes (C20, C24, C26, C28, C30, C36, C60 and C70) intercalated phthalocyanine covalent organic frameworks (Cn-Pc-PBBA COFs). First principles molecular dynamics (MD) simulations showed that the structures of ...

We present a review of the methods most frequently used for the synthesis of fullerenes and the changes that these methods have experienced since 1985 when Kroto and co‐workers discovered C60. We also analyze the most important models that explain the mechanism of the formation of ...

Fullerenes are nanoparticles composed of carbon atoms arranged in a spherical hollow cage-like structure. Numerous studies have evaluated the therapeutic potential of fullerene derivates against oxidative stress-associated conditions, including the prevention or treatment of arthritis. On the ...

The capability of the B20O30 nanocapsule to store H2, N2, CO, CO2, NH3, CH4, and Cl2 molecules on the outer surface and inside of the cage was investigated using Monte Carlo simulations, long‐range and dispersion corrected density functional theory, and Møller–Plesset second‐order ...

Abstract First‐principles DFT calculations are carried out to study the changes in structures and electronic properties of two‐dimensional single‐layer graphene in the presence of non‐covalent interactions induced by carbon and boron fullerenes (C60, C70, C80 and B80). Our study shows ...
