Summary:

The current volume covers a host of topics in organic synthesis, photo- / radiation-chemistry, electron donor-acceptor interaction, supramolecular chemistry and photovoltaics. It provides a unique forum for expounding and discussing the latest developments in these important disciplines of "Fullerene Research." The selected examples, described in this comprehensive and one-of-a-kind resource, will illustrate the continuing interest and potential of fullerenes as multifunctional moieties in well-ordered multicomponent composites. In view of the novelty and the various areas involved, the composed monographs are of interest for condensed matter physicists; materials scientists; electrochemists; biochemists; solid-state, physical, organic, inorganic, and theoretical chemists; chemical, electrical, and optical engineers; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
