FULLERENES AND FULLERENE-BASED MATERIALS IN CATALYSIS

Abstract

This review presents results on the application of fullerenes, [60]fullerene transition metal complexes and other fullerene-based materials in catalysis. Included are studies of hydrocarbon reactions catalyzed by C60 or fullerene black, hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds involving homogeneous and supported fullerene-containing catalysts and others.
