Fullerenes: functionalisation and prospects for the use of derivatives
Abstract
Published data on the functionalisation of fullerenes (mainly, C60) including those using addition reactions (cycloaddition, hydrogenation, oxidation, etc.) are surveyed. The participation of fullerenes in catalysis and fullerene-containing polymers are considered and the prospects for the practical use of fullerene derivatives are discussed. The bibliography includes 191 references.
