Editorial Reviews

The interest in fullerenes has crossed the disciplines of physics, chemistry, and materials science; this monograph brings together reports from leading investigators, providing an up-to-date account of an emerging field. Contributions are organized into sections on the main events leading to the discovery and preliminary studies of the fullerenes; theoretical studies of fulleroid cages; super-conductivity properties; exo- and endohedral complexes; and some chemical properties of these new materials.
