Fullerene-Functionalized Monolayer-Protected Silver Clusters: [Ag29(BDT)12(C60)n]3– (n = 1–9)
We report the formation of supramolecular adducts between monolayer-protected noble metal nanoclusters and fullerenes, specifically focusing on a well-known silver cluster, [Ag29(BDT)12]3–, where BDT is 1,3-benzenedithiol.

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 C60and C60+in space was considered, particularly in the context of the enigmatic diffuse interstellar bands.

Raman Laser Polymerization of C60 Nanowhiskers
Photopolymerization of C60 nanowhiskers (C60NWs) was investigated by using a Raman spectrometer in air at room temperature, since the polymerized C60NWs are expected to exhibit a high mechanical strength and a thermal stability.

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).

Quenching Photo‐Induced Free Radicals Endows Superomniphobic Atmospheric Water Harvesting Hydrogels With UV Resistance for Durable Bifacial Photovoltaic Cooling [PDF]
A hygroscopic hydrogel layer functionalized with fullerene C60 tackles heat and dust challenges in bifacial photovoltaics (PV) panels. It resists soiling and photo‐aging, maintains high transparency, absorbs water vapor from the air during the night, and delivers strong evaporative cooling power during daytime, significantly lowering PV panel ...

Superconductivity in the Fullerenes
Intramolecular vibrations strongly scatter electrons near the Fermi-surface in doped fullerenes. A simple expression for the electron-phonon coupling parameters for this case is derived and evaluated by quantum-chemical calculations. The observed superconducting transition temperatures and their variation with lattice constants can be ...
