Fullerene-Related Materials: Recent Advances in Their Chemistry and Physics

"Fullerene-Related Materials" provides an in-depth coverage of the essential breakthroughs in the Chemistry and Physics of fullerene related materials over the last five years. Split into two volumes, it includes materials such as: Metal intercalated fullerides; Endohedral fullerenes; Higher fullerenes; and Non-conventional carbon cages. Volume 1 explores the structural, electronic and magnetic phase diagrams of fullerene derivatives and pays special attention to metal intercalated fullerenes. Volume 2 covers the recent advances in synthesis, reactivity and applications of fullerene related materials. These volumes form an invaluable resource for academics and researchers in the field of functional molecular materials and also material scientists who are looking into implementing fullerene compounds in different types of devices.
