{"product_id":"9789814489850","title":"Endohedral Fullerenes: From Fundamentals To Applications: From Fundamentals to Applications","description":"\u003cp\u003eEndohedral 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@C\u003csub\u003e82\u003c\/sub\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Early Days of Metallofullerene Research \u003ci\u003e(Hisanori Shinohara)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynthesis and Isolation of Endohedral Fullerenes — A General Review \u003ci\u003e(Fupin Liu, Jian Guan, Tao Wei, Song Wang and Shangfeng Yang)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrystallographic Study of Endohedral Metallofullerenes \u003ci\u003e(Yun-Peng Xie, Shasha Zhao and Xing Lu)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Nitride Clusterfullerenes — New Advances and Challenges \u003ci\u003e(Tao Wei, Song Wang, Fupin Liu, Jian Guan, Alexey A Popov, Lothar Dunsch and Shangfeng Yang)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Carbide Clusterfullerenes \u003ci\u003e(Taishan Wang and Chunru Wang)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Discovery of Non-IPR Fullerenes \u003ci\u003e(Wei Xu, Chunying Shu and Chunru Wang)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Oxide Clusterfullerenes \u003ci\u003e(Steven Stevenson)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNitrogen Atom-Based Endohedral Fullerenes and Potential Applications \u003ci\u003e(B J Farrington and K Porfyrakis)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoble-Gas Fullerenes \u003ci\u003e(R James Cross, Jr)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectrochemical Properties of Endohedral Metallofullerenes \u003ci\u003e(Luis Echegoyen, Frederic Melin and Manuel N Chaur)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemical Functionalization of Endohedral Metallofullerenes \u003ci\u003e(Yutaka Maeda)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComputational Studies of Endohedral Fullerenes: Bonding, Isomerism, Internal Dynamics, Spectroscopy, and Chemical Reactivity \u003ci\u003e(Alexey A Popov)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiomedical Applications of Trimetallic Nitride Endohedral Metallofullerenes \u003ci\u003e(Jianyuan Zhang, Boris M Kiselev, Youqing Ye and Harry C Dorn)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigher LUMO Level Endohedral Fullerene and Fullerene Bisadduct Acceptors for Polymer Solar Cells \u003ci\u003e(Yongfang Li)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Advanced undergraduates and graduate students, scientists in Chemistry, Physics, and Materials Science, researchers and professionals in the fields of fullerenes and all-carbon nanomaterials, and the general public. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185292493040,"sku":"9789814489850","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814489850_p0.jpg?v=1763691448","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814489850","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
