Fullerene derivatives represent a unique class of carbon-based nanomaterials with exceptional physicochemical properties that have been harnessed for a range of biomedical applications.

The anti-tumor activity of the fullerene derivatives has a great potential for the development of new effective medicinal products for treatment of non-small-cell lung carcinoma. ### ...

Also, going beyond fullerene derivatives would increase the possible blends that can be considered for organic solar cells.

Thus far, water-soluble gadofullerene derivatives based on Gd@C 82, Gd@C 60 and Gd 3 N@C 80 species have been tested as paramagnetic MRI contrast agents.

Kraevaya, O.A., et al. (2020) Direct arylation of C60Cl6 and C70Cl8 with carboxylic acids: a synthetic avenue to water-soluble fullerene derivatives with promising antiviral activity. Chemical ...

Computer simulations were used to test more than 100 carbon fullerene, or "buckyball," derivatives initially developed for other purposes to see if they could be used to inhibit a strain of the ...

Fullerene derivatives may receive multiple electrons, go through a swift and robust fullerene cage-based oxidation reaction, and are very inexpensive. As a consequence, fullerene is the kinetically ...

The anti-tumor activity of the fullerene derivatives has a great potential for the development of new effective medicinal products for treatment of non-small-cell lung carcinoma.

Researchers have achieved an efficiency boost of 15.44% to 17.04% in all-inorganic perovskite solar cells by incorporating a conductive fullerene-derivative interlayer between the perovskite and ...

Robust, heat-tolerant, all-inorganic perovskite solar cell energy capture efficiency is improved by the introduction of an interlayer that improves electron transport.
