“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] There are different ways to link a heteroatom to the fullerene structure, and most of the attention has been focused on endo-and exohedral binding modes, which leaves the carbon framework essentially intact. A more disruptive binding mode results from replacement of a carbon atom of the fullerene network by a dopant atom to obtain a substitutionally doped fullerene.…”

A DFT investigation of substitutionally doped fullerenes MC59 of second- and third-row transition metals shows that their stability increases toward the right-hand side of the d-block. Whereas the structural deviation from that of C60 depends on the size of the metal atom, stability is governed by electronic properties of the transition metal atom. A range of MC59 compounds of group 6-8 metals are predicted to have sufficient stability for experimental observation.

“…Their displaced electron cloud allows fullerenes to act as charge transfer complexes, and they are photosensitive, producing singlet oxygen species upon exposure to light [3,4]. These fullerene transition metal complexes are very reactive, with the potential to serve as catalysts [6,7].

Prior to the implementation of any new technology, possible environmental and health repercussions first must be researched. Fullerenes are to be produced soon on an industrial scale, with applications quickly following. To investigate the possible environmental impact of fullerenes, a C60-water suspension (nano-C60) was synthesized and then evaluated for cell-association and toxicity, using the bacteria Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis as indicator species. In a defined low-salts medium, nano-C60 associated with both the Gram-negative E. coli and the Gram-positive B. subtilis, albeit more strongly with the former. Nano-C60 also displayed antimicrobial properties against both E. coli and B. subtilis, with minimal inhibitory concentrations of 0.5 to 1 mg/ L and 1.5 to 3.0 mg/L, respectively. Media with higher salt contents result in the nano-C60 particles aggregating and falling out of suspension; thus, higher salt solutions reduced or eliminated the antimicrobial properties of nano-C60.

“…21) and fullerene based materials are essentially different in properties from conventional CM. Catalysis is one of the interesting and important applications of fullerenes and fullerene containing materials [137,138]. Possibility to use carbon nanofibers, carbon nanotubes and other nanomaterials in catalysis was reported, for example, in [139,140].…”
