Abstract:Fullerene exhibits a wealth of interesting characteristics owing to its unique π‐electron configuration. The structure and properties of fullerene can be manipulated by introducing chemical groups to the carbon–carbon bonds via organic reactions, extending its application field. The Diels–Alder (DA) cycloaddition reaction is commonly used to decorate the carbon cage of fullerene. Furthermore, atoms, ions, clusters, and molecules can be inserted into the hollow carbon cage of a fullerene, thereby changing the e… Show more
