Recent research has focused on innovative methods for synthesizing fullerenes and enhancing their properties through molecular encapsulation, which allows for the study and utilization of the ...

“For most organic molecules, adding an electron greatly affects their molecular structure, making it very unstable,” Kondo says. “In contrast, fullerenes are inherently stable and adding an ...

Diederich, et al., Science, 252:548, 1991). Our two papers addressed the question of these structures by using a simple computer program for generating fullerene polyhedra in conjunction with ...

However, as the number of isomers increases exponentially in higher fullerenes (C n, n>7), achieving their selective enrichment through molecular recognition remains a challenge. This study ...
