  2. Fullerene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fullerene

    Nested closed fullerenes have been named bucky onions. Cylindrical fullerenes are also called carbon nanotubes or buckytubes. [1] The bulk solid form of pure or mixed fullerenes is called fullerite. [2] Fullerenes had been predicted for some time, but only after their accidental synthesis in 1985 were they detected in nature [3] [4] and outer ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fullerene_chemistry

    Fullerene chemistry is a field of organic chemistry devoted to the chemical properties of fullerenes. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Research in this field is driven by the need to functionalize fullerenes and tune their properties.

  4. C70 fullerene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C70_fullerene

    C 70 fullerene is the fullerene molecule consisting of 70 carbon atoms. It is a cage-like fused-ring structure which resembles a rugby ball, made of 25 hexagons and 12 pentagons, with a carbon atom at the vertices of each polygon and a bond along each polygon edge.

  5. Allotropes of carbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropes_of_carbon

    As of the early twenty-first century, the chemical and physical properties of fullerenes are still under heavy study, in both pure and applied research labs. In April 2003, fullerenes were under study for potential medicinal use — binding specific antibiotics to the structure to target resistant bacteria and even target certain cancer cells ...

  6. Endohedral fullerene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endohedral_fullerene

    Besides unfilled fullerenes, endohedral metallofullerenes develop with different cage sizes like La@C 60 or La@C 82 and as different isomer cages. Aside from the dominant presence of mono-metal cages, numerous di-metal endohedral complexes and the tri-metal carbide fullerenes like Sc 3 C 2 @C 80 were also isolated. In 1999 a discovery drew ...

  7. Buckminsterfullerene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckminsterfullerene

    The method was simple and efficient to prepare the material in gram amounts per day (1990) which has boosted the fullerene research and is even today applied for the commercial production of fullerenes. The discovery of practical routes to C 60 led to the exploration of a new field of chemistry involving the study of fullerenes.

    The 47-year-old victim was snoozing on the southbound platform of the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center station around 1:45 a.m. when the worker poured bleach on the floor next to him, according to ...

  9. Exohedral fullerene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exohedral_fullerene

    Exohedral fullerenes, also called exofullerenes, are fullerenes that have additional atoms, ions, or clusters attached their outer spheres, such as C 50 Cl 10 [1] and C 60 H 8. [ 2 ] or fullerene ligands .
