Materials chemistry of fullerene C60 derivatives

Abstract

Despite the increasing interest of the scientific community in carbon nanotubes and graphene, fullerene C60 still plays an important role in the family of nanocarbons. A quarter of a century of research on fullerenes has been dedicated to understanding the way to produce stable, well-characterized and highly soluble fullerene derivatives, which retain the original properties of C60. The applications in a wide number of fields, especially on new materials design, have enriched the literature with fascinating examples where fullerenes are directly involved. We report here a brief summary of recent achievements in some exciting applications of fullerene derivatives.
