Abstract

The discovery of buckminsterfullerene 40 years ago was a major event in chemistry and materials science. It was also a discovery outside the “box” as Harold W. Kroto, Richard E. Smalley, Robert F. Curl, and their students assigned a structure to the species appearing as a prominent peak in the mass spectrum. Earlier, Eiji Osawa and Elena G. Galpern had suggested its existence and truncated icosahedral shape. This field of science began unprecedented progress when Donald R. Huffman, Wolfgang Krätschmer, and their associates produced the actual material.

发现巴克敏斯特富勒烯四十年

40年前巴克敏斯特富勒烯的发现是化学和材料科学的一件大事。哈罗德·w·克罗托、理查德·e·斯莫利、罗伯特·f·库尔和他们的学生给这种物种分配了一个结构，在质谱中出现了一个突出的峰，这也是一个“盒子”之外的发现。早些时候，Eiji Osawa和Elena G. Galpern提出了它的存在，并截断了二十面体的形状。当唐纳德·r·霍夫曼、沃尔夫冈Krätschmer和他们的同事制作出实际材料时，这一科学领域开始了前所未有的进步。

期刊介绍： Structural Chemistry is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed original research papers that cover the condensed and gaseous states of matter and involve numerous techniques for the determination of structure and energetics, their results, and the conclusions derived from these studies. The journal overcomes the unnatural separation in the current literature among the areas of structure determination, energetics, and applications, as well as builds a bridge to other chemical disciplines. Ist comprehensive coverage encompasses broad discussion of results, observation of relationships among various properties, and the description and application of structure and energy information in all domains of chemistry. We welcome the broadest range of accounts of research in structural chemistry involving the discussion of methodologies and structures,experimental, theoretical, and computational, and their combinations. We encourage discussions of structural information collected for their chemicaland biological significance.
