A fullerene graph is a cubic bridgeless planar graph with twelve 5-faces such that all other faces are 6-faces. We show that any fullerene graph on n vertices can be bipartized by removing O(sqrt{n}) edges. This bound is asymptotically optimal.

Fullerene derivatives and fullerene superconductors [PDF]
Abstract A series of 1:1 C 60 cycloaddition adducts, C 60 A (A = anthracene, butadiene, cyclopentadiene and methylcyclopentadiene), has been synthesized. The products are cleanly separated and characterized by use of TGA, 1 H-NMR, IR, and mass spectrometry. Among these adducts, C 60 , (methylcyclopentadiene) showed the highest thermal stability and

Unique Crystallization of Fullerenes: Fullerene Flowers [PDF]
AbstractSolution-phase crystallization of fullerene molecules strongly depends on the types of solvent and their ratios because solvent molecules are easily included in the crystal lattice and distort its structure. The C70(solute)–mesitylene (solvent) system yields crystals with various morphologies and structures, such as cubes, tubes, and imperfect ...

AbstractIn 1985 the football structure of C60, buckminsterfullerene was proposed and subsequently confirmed following its macroscopic synthesis in 1990. From the very beginning the role of C60 and C60+ in space was considered, particularly in the context of the enigmatic diffuse interstellar bands.

Localization of the valence electron of endohedrally confined hydrogen, lithium and sodium in fullerene cages [PDF]
The localization of the valence electron of $H$, $Li$ and $Na$ atoms enclosed by three different fullerene molecules is studied. The structure of the fullerene molecules is used to calculate the equilibrium position of the endohedrally atom as the ...

The topology of fullerenes [PDF]
Fullerenes are carbon molecules that form polyhedral cages. Their bond structures are exactly the planar cubic graphs that have only pentagon and hexagon faces. Strikingly, a number of chemical properties of a fullerene can be derived from its graph structure.

Toxic Effect of Fullerene and Its Derivatives upon the Transmembrane β2-Adrenergic Receptors
Numerous experiments have revealed that fullerene (C60) and its derivatives can bind to proteins and affect their biological functions. In this study, we explored the interaction between fullerine and the β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR).

Oxidative stress is involved in a wide variety of pathologies, and fullerene has been shown to have an antioxidant ability. Mycotoxins exert toxic effects through induction of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS).
