Fullerenes represent a new alio tropic form of carbon in which the atoms form closed surfaces. This class of compounds includes closed molecules of both spherical and spheroidal shape, such as C 6 0 , C 7 0 , and others, as well as extended carbon configurations with a surface structure (nanotubes). Although fullerenes have only a short history, this branch of science is growing rapidly and attracting continuously new investigators. The subject of fullerenes can be subdivided into three branches: the physics, chemistry, and technology of fullerenes. The physics of fullerenes deals with the structural, mechanical, electric, magnetic, and optical properties of fullerenes and their compounds in various phase states. It includes also the nature of the interaction between carbon atoms in these compounds, the spectroscopy of fullerene molecules, and the properties and structure of systems consisting of fullerene molecules. The physics of fullerenes is the most advanced branch of the subject. The chemistry of fullerenes comprises preparation and study of new chemical compounds based on closed carbon molecules, and the chemical processes in which they participate. The concepts and investigation methods dis tinguish this branch of chemistry in many fundamental ways from traditional chemistry. The technology of fullerenes includes both the methods for the fabrication of these compounds and their various applications. The applications deserve special attention. On the one hand, there is a huge list of potential uses for fullerenes. On the other hand, it is not reasonable to expect that any of the fullerene applications will pay, in the near future, for the cost of research on the subject. The applied aspects of the problem of fullerenes thus require long-term research and tests, and the success will require painstaking and sustained efforts. One other aspect of the application of fullerenes is the high scientific content not only at the preparatory stages of reaching a solution, but also in putting it into practice. Let us consider, for example, a medicine in which a fullerene is used as a convenient neutral base. Then, at the stage of manufacture of this compound one has to use the same fullerene detection methods as in the laboratory. The
