Voorbeelden van fullerene

• We assume here that algae provided the carbon for the fullerenes at the three locations of interest.

• At three sites of such fullerene discoveries the building blocks for these large molecules may have come from algal remains.

• A biological origin with formation in the solid state is proposed here for certain terrestrial fullerenes but with considerable trepidation because it entails formidable hurdles.

• These are interesting results, but they do not involve fullerene formation under natural conditions, and certainly not in the solid state.

• In both cases curved graphene sheets can be observed together with onion-like particles and defective structures which we have defined fullerene-like structures.

• These fullerene occurrences have long been a conundrum.

• The fullerene-like structures in carbon dust may be responsible for instance for the formation of molecular hydrogen from atomic hydrogen by an enhanced surface chemistry mechanism.

• Individual gadolinium atoms have been isolated by encapsulating them into fullerene molecules and visualized with transmission electron microscope.

• In 2010, fullerenes (or buckyballs) were detected in nebulae.

• In other words, although the carbon atoms in fullerene are all conjugated the superstructure is not a super aromatic compound.

• In addition, it is used as a solvent for carbon nanomaterials, including nanotubes and fullerenes, and it can also be used as a fullerene indicator.

• In an in silico experiment a bond distance of 136 pm is estimated for neopentane locked up in fullerene.

• A fullerene is any molecule composed entirely of carbon, in the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, tube, and many other shapes.

• The materials can also be formed by chemical reactions on fullerene or laser ablation of graphitic materials.

• In material sciences, many complicated inorganic and organometallic systems have been analyzed using single-crystal methods, such as fullerenes, metalloporphyrins, and other complicated compounds.
