DescriptionFullerenes are molecules that composed entirely of carbon. They are similar in structure to graphite, which is composed of a sheet of linked hexagonal and pentagonal rings that prevent the sheet from being planar. Each carbon atom on the surface of fullerenes is bonded to three carbon neighbors, therefore, is sp2 hybridized. Fullerenes are in the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, tube, and many other shapes. Spherical fullerenes C60, the first fullerene molecule manufactured in 1985, is named as buckminsterfullerene, resembles the balls used in football. Cylindrical fullerenes are known as carbon nanotubes (CNTs). As the discovery of fullerenes came after buckminsterfullerene, the shortened name "fullerene" is used to refer to the family of fullerenes, of which each carbon atom is covalently bonded to three others.
Fullerene C60 can be used for the sensor to detect TNT to meet the needs of counter-terrorism; The three-dimensional highly
delocalized electron conjugated molecular structure makes C60 have excellent optical and nonlinear optical properties, which is
expected to use in such optical computing, optical memories, optical signal processing, and controlling applications respects;
In addition, C60 and its derivatives can be widely used in magnetic resonance imaging, anti-HIV drugs,anti-cancer drugs,
chemotherapy drugs, cosmetic additives, research, and other areas.
