Carbon-based materials, such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene, are attracting increasing interest because of their remarkable properties and potential applications.[1, 2] Fullerenes are a unique family of cage molecules with a variety of sizes and shapes. Most effort thus far has focused on the study of C60 fullerene, for which superconducting properties have been demonstrated, along with high mechanical and ...
