Synopsis

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest approaches to electronic structure calculations of fullerenes. Topics include C(60) and C(70) molecules, the medium-size fullerenes, large carbon clusters, hypothetical allotropic forms of carbon, small fullerenes, endohedral complexes, heterofullerenes, fullerene derivatives, and solid-state fullerenes. A summary of recent research breakthroughs and a discussion of potential future directions round out the book. Far-reaching and well-written, the book will be welcomed by students and researchers in chemistry and quantum physics.

About this title

Review

"Professor Cioslowski has presented an up-to-date presentation of the recent progress in quantum-chemical calculations ... The citations appear to be quite complete to publication date." -- Chemical Monographs Review

"The first serious attempt to review rationally and concisely the fullerene field from the perspective of a theoretician. . . .Intelligently organized. . . .Cioslowski should be praised for the excellent job he has done reviewing this exciting and rapidly changing field. His book will be a valuable source for both specialists and novices for years to come."--American Scientist

"Very interesting and useful."Materials Research Bulletin
