Development of Fullerenes and Their Derivatives
Fullerenes and their derivatives have captured the attention of scientists and researchers since their discovery in 1985. These unique carbon molecules have a cage-like structure that has opened up a wide range of potential applications in various fields, including molecular electronics, biomedicine, and nanotechnology. In this book chapter, we will delve into the various physical and electronic properties of fullerenes and their derivatives, along with the latest developments in their applications.
One of the most significant properties of fullerenes is their high superconductivity, which makes them ideal for use in molecular electronics. They also exhibit quasi-one-dimensional behavior, which has important implications for their use in electronic devices. Fullerenes are also known for their five-fold local symmetry, which makes them ideal for derivatization and has opened up a wide range of potential applications in biomedicine and nanotechnology.
The cage-like structure of fullerenes also has immense potential for use as therapeutic agents. Fullerenes are small in size and highly stable, making them ideal for drug delivery and other medical applications. Additionally, fullerenes have antioxidant properties that make them useful in the treatment of a variety of diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.
In recent years, there have been many exciting developments in the field of fullerenes and their derivatives. Researchers have discovered new and innovative ways to synthesize fullerenes and manipulate their properties to create novel materials with unique properties. There has also been significant progress in the development of fullerene-based compounds for use in various applications, including electronics, energy storage, and medicine.
Overall, fullerenes and their derivatives have enormous potential for use in a wide range of applications. In this book chapter, we will provide a comprehensive overview of the physical and electronic properties of fullerenes and their derivatives, along with the latest developments in their applications. We will also explore the research in nanostructures, especially fullerene-based compounds, and their potential to revolutionize various fields.
