Science of Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes by M. S. Dresselhaus,G. Dresselhaus,P. C. Eklund Pdf
The discovery of fullerenes (also known as buckyballs) has generated tremendous excitement and opened up a new field of carbon chemistry. As the first book available on this topic, this volume will be a landmark reference in the field. Because buckyballs are essentially closed hollow cages made up of carbon atoms, they can be manipulated in a variety of ways to yield never-before-seen materials. The balls can, for instance, be doped with atoms or pulled out into tubules and filled with lead to provide properties of high-temperature superconductivity. Researchers can now create their own buckyballs in a process that is almost as simple as making soot, making this research as inexpensive as it is exotic (which has doubtless contributed to its popularity). Researchers anticipate that fullerenes will offer boundless opportunities in the development of new products, drugs and materials. Science of Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes introduces materials scientists, chemists, and solid state physicists to the field of fullerenes, and discusses the unique properties and applications. both current and future, of all classes of fullerenes. Key Features * First comprehensive resource on fullerenes and their applications * Provides an introduction to the topic * Presents an extensive discussion of current and future applications of Fullerenes * Covers all classes of fullerenes
Fragments of Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes by Marina A. Petrukhina,Lawrence T. Scott Pdf
This book is the first of its kind to reflect upon the intense and rapidly growing interest in open geodesic polyaromatic molecules, specifically focusing on their synthesis and reactivity in metal binding reactions. The book broadly covers all aspects related to the fullerene fragment chemistry: current synthetic techniques, description of the available members of this new family (which has grown to more than two dozens members, with none being available commercially), molecular geometry and trends in the solid state packing, as well as extensions into physical properties and new buckybowl-based molecules and materials. It covers fundamental research related to a new class of hydrocarbons, namely open geodesic polyarenes that map onto the surfaces of fullerenes (and referred to as fullerene fragments or buckybowls.
Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacological Potential of Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes by Franco Cataldo,Tatiana da Ros Pdf
Fullerenes and nanotubes are two classes of carbon structures or allotropes, which were discovered about 17 years ago. Since that time, many chemical derivatives have been synthesized using fullerenes and nanotubes as building blocks. Particularly promising was the theory that the chemical properties of fullerenes, and certain derivatives, made them likely candidates for anticancer drugs, inhibitors of viruses such as HIV, or even as anti-bacterials. Their cyctotoxicity can also be controlled by specific circumstances. In addition, the funtionalization of nanotubes has not only produced relatively simple derivatives, but also complex hybrids with biological macromolecules, which show unique supramolecular architecture and which are promising in many medical applications. The application of fullerenes and nanotubes in medicine is at the frontier of our knowledge, thus the work in this field represents the basis for future novel developments.
Handbook of Fullerene Science and Technology by Xing Lu,Takeshi Akasaka,Zdeněk Slanina Pdf
Nanocarbon chemistry and physics is a fast-developing, broad research area – the Nobel prizes in 1996 and 2010 awarded to two key discoveries in the field, and several other nanocarbon achievements of comparable importance. Owing to this rapid growth, the nanocarbon landscape fundamentally changes every few years, creating a need to survey the field on a regular basis to update the books that have become incomplete or even obsolete. As such, this book focuses on fullerenes and metallofullerenes and also on the related areas of nanotubes and graphenes. All the covered research topics provide important fundamental knowledge for the natural sciences, but also for applications in molecular electronics, superconductivity, catalysis, photovoltaics and medical diagnostics. The current nanocarbon research activities have particularly high application potential in the conversion of solar energy, future molecular memories, non-conventional materials for optoelectronics, and new treatments for civilization diseases. Offering a truly up-to-date critical survey of nanocarbon science, its concepts and highlights, it follows the concept of a handbook: it addresses key topics systematically, from historical background, methodological aspects, current important issues, and application potential, all supplied with extensive referencing. With individual chapters written by leading experts with extensive research experience, it is a comprehensive reference resource for graduate students and active researchers alike.
The Physics of Fullerene-Based and Fullerene-Related Materials by W. Andreoni Pdf
Krätschmer and Huffman's revolutionary discovery of a new solid phase of carbon, solid C60, in 1990 opened the way to an entire new class of materials with physical properties so diverse that their richness has not yet been fully exploited. Moreover, as a by-product of fullerene research, carbon nanotubes were later identified, from which novel nanostructures originated that are currently fascinating materials scientists worldwide. Rivers of words have been written on both fullerenes and nanotubes, in the form of journal articles, conference proceedings and books. The present book offers, in a concise and self-contained manner, the basics of the science of these materials as well as detailed information on those aspects that have so far been better explored. Structural, electronic and dynamical properties are described as obtained from various measurements and state-of-the-art calculations. Their interrelation emerges as well as their possible dependence on, for example, preparation conditions or methods of investigation. By presenting and comparing data from different sources, experiment and theory, this book helps the reader to rapidly master the basic knowledge, to grasp important issues and critically discuss them. Ultimately, it aims to inspire him or her to find novel ways to approach still open questions. As such, this book is addressed to new researchers in the field as well as experts.
The closed-cage carbon molecules known as fullerenes provide an entirely new branch of chemistry, materials science, and physics. Fullerene research is now engaging the frenetic attention of thousands of scientists. Initially, the chemistry was relatively slow to develop due to the low availability of material, and the need for state-of-the-art instrumentation for product analysis. This research area is now very definitely up-and-running, and will soon become the main focus of attention in the fullerene field. The number of published papers already runs into hundreds, and the main features of fullerene reactivity have been established. This book describes all of the known types of reactions as well as the means of production, the purification, and the properties of fullerenes.

Carbon Nanotubes by M. Endo,S. Iijima,M.S. Dresselhaus Pdf
Carbon nanotubes have been studied extensively in relation to fullerenes, and together with fullerenes have opened a new science and technology field on nano scale materials. A whole range of issues from the preparation, structure, properties and observation of quantum effects in carbon nanotubes in comparison with 0-D fullerenes are discussed. In addition, complementary reviews on carbon nanoparticles such as carbon nano-capsules, onion-like graphite particles and metal-coated fullerenes are covered. This book aims to cover recent research and development in this area, and so provide a convenient reference tool for all researchers in this field. It is also hoped that this book can serve to stimulate future work on carbon nanotubes.

Dft Calculations On Fullerenes And Carbon Nanotubes by Vladimir A. Basiuk Pdf
Fullerenes and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) hardly need a business card . After a little more than two decades since the discovery of fullerenes, these two closely related carbon allotropes occupy a firm position in modern science and technology, in different areas spanning from pharmacology to field emission devices, from liquid chromatography to polymer composites. Of course, this is due to their unique structure and properties, which promise equally unique applications. These aspects are studied extensively by both experimental and theoretical scientists during all these years. It is experimentalists who often appear to have the final word. However, theory, and in particular quantum chemical molecular structure theory, has proven capable to give an answer where experiment fails, or even has a sufficient predictive power to help with further directions. The science of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes is not an exception. However, there is a circumstance making them objects especially difficult for a theorist: molecular size. While fullerenes are half bad to be studied at a sufficiently high theoretical level, even simple nanotube models represent a real challenge for electronic structure calculations (not to mention realistic-size CNTs). And this is where density functional theory (DFT) and simplified versions of DFT can help. The present book was written in recognition of the role of DFT methods in the science (mainly chemistry) of fullerenes and CNTs. The fullerene-related studies are covered in Chapters 1-6, 9, and 12. In particular, Chapter 1 analyzes the relative stabilities of isomeric empty fullerene cages as well as endohedral metallofullerenes. Electronic and molecular structures of small to higher fullerenes, in terms of ionization potential, electronic affinity and energy gap, are reviewed in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 compares the results of DFT calculations of the fragmentation reactions of fullerenes to the data obtained with true ab initio methods and experimentally. Chapter 4 deals with the geometry and electronic structure of tetrapyrrole-fullerene conjugates, which are of interest as potential candidates for building photovoltaic devices and artificial light energy harvesting systems. The latter centers mostly on covalently and coordinationally linked tetrapyrrole-fullerene dyads, whereas Chapter 12 focuses on non-covalent interactions between porphyrins and fullerenes. Chapter 5 provides a detailed analysis of electronic structure and reactivity of endohedral rare-earth metallofullerenes, which is different from that of isolated fullerene cages. Chapter 6 adds important insights on such interesting and important aspects as fullerene polymerization, multi-shell and endohedral fullerenes, those coated with various organic and metal-organic compounds, as well as heterofullerenes. Chapter 9 studies nanopeapod chemistry, namely, the behavior of fullerene and metallofullerene molecules encapsulated inside of a carbon nanotube. The chemistry of fullerene cages is inseparably connected and has much in common with the chemistry of CNTs (sometimes fairly called tubular fullerenes). Therefore it is not surprising that of the already mentioned contributions, Chapters 6, 9, and 12 also consider theoretical aspects of the chemistry of carbon nanotubes. A very extensive survey of DFT results on CNT structure, electronic properties, covalent and non-covalent functionalization with diverse chemical species is provided in Chapter 6. Chapter 9 directly considers chemical reactions between the two species, fullerene and nanotube. Chapter 12 complemets the reviewed results on non-covalent interactions between porphyrins and fullerenes, with the data on related nanotube-based systems. Chapters 7, 8, 10, and 11 focus on solely CNTs. The former two have a physical emphasis. Vibration properties of single-walled CNTs are very useful in nanotube characterization; their DFT calculations are the subject of Chapter 7. Chapter 8 analyzes field emission properties of CNTs, including the effects of dopants and cap geometry. Chapter 10 considers the interaction of CNTs with such chemical species as simple gases, cycloaddition reagents, metals and their coordination compounds. Finally, Chapter 11 deals with CNT growth, presenting quantum chemical molecular dynamics simulations to study the controversial role of catalytic particle melting and carbide formation at the early stage of nanotube nucleation. As the reader can see, this book is a collective effort of researchers from fourteen countries: Austria, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Greece, Hungary, Japan, Mexico, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, and United States of America. This fact stresses once again the importance of DFT studies in the entire science of carbon nanomaterials, studied in many countries over the globe. We would like to cordially thank the experts in theoretical chemistry of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes for agreeing to contribute to this book. We also thank all the supporting institutions for providing favorable conditions for the authors to complete their chapters. Finally, we thank the reader for noticing and reading this book, with the hope that he or she finds it useful.
The Science and Technology of Carbon Nanotubes by T. Yamabe,K. Fukui,Kazuyoshi Tanaka Pdf
Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) is the material lying between fullerenes and graphite as a new member of carbon allotropes. The study of CNT has gradually become more and more independent from that of fullerenes. As a novel carbon material, CNTs will be far more useful and important than fullerenes from a practical point of view, in that they will be directly related to an ample field of nanotechnology. This book presents a timely, second-generation monograph covering as far as practical, application of CNT as the newest science of these materials. Most updated summaries for preparation, purification and structural characterisation of single walled CNT and multi walled CNT are given. Similarly, the most recent developments in the theoretical treatments of electronic structures and vibrational structures are covered. The newest magnetic, optical and electrical solid-state properties providing a vital base to actual application technologies are described. Explosive research trends towards application of CNTs, including the prospect for large-scale synthesis, are also introduced. It is the most remarkable feature of this monograph that it devotes more than a half of the whole volume to practical aspects and offers readers the newest developments of the science and technological aspects of CNTs.
Supramolecular Chemistry of Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes by Nazario Martin,Jean-Francois Nierengarten Pdf
Collating our current knowledge and the latest developments for enabling breakthrough discoveries, this book focuses on the synthesis and applications of materials that are based on supramolecular assemblies of carbon nanostructures, with an emphasis on fullerenes and nanotubes. In so doing, it provides readers with an overview of the different types of supramolecular architectures, accentuating the outstanding geometrical, electronic and photophysical properties of the building blocks and the resulting structures. It makes use of basic concepts and real-life applications -- from simple syntheses to complex architectures, from instructive examples to working experimental procedures, and from photophysics to solar cells. A large part of each chapter is devoted to the methods and possibilities of controlling and tuning these molecular assemblies in order to obtain working devices. Fascinating reading for materials scientists, organic chemists, molecular physicists, and those in the semiconductor industry.
