“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 ...

Moreover, the fullerene family itself has grown as other examples — such as rugby-ball-shaped C 70 — have been discovered. As well as looking at the properties of the pristine fullerenes ...

This is a scanning transmission electron microscope image of a fullerene layer between two graphene sheets. Due to the motion of the fullerenes at the edge, they are only partially visible.

Recently, a research team led by Professor Zhi-Guo Zhang from Beijing University of Chemical Technology, in collaboration ...

Sun Qingfu's team from the Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure ... in enhancing molecular recognition. This study represents the exploration of MOCs recognizing higher fullerene isomers ...
