Synthesis of Fulleroids and Preparation of New Organic Materials: Ferromagnetics, Metals and Superconductors

本研究旨在制备和表征被称为“富勒烯”的刚性碳簇。这些新的化合物将是由π共轭碳原子连接到各种官能团和各种元素组成的中空分子球，以产生新的分子固体。由于这些团簇的高度对称性、电子特性和功能设计，预计这些分子固态材料将表现出前所未有的凝聚态性质。

This research aims to prepare and characterize rigid carbon clusters known as "Fullerenes". These new compounds will be hollow molecular spheres consisting of pi-conjugated carbon atoms attached to various functional groups and a large variety of elements to yield novel molecular solids. Due to the high symmetry, electronic character and functional design of these clusters, it is expected that these molecular solid-state materials will exhibit unprecedented condensed matter properties.
