Fullerene hydrides: synthesis, properties, and structure

Abstract

The results of studies on the methods of synthesis of exohedral fullerene hydrides, including the reduction of fullerenes by hydrocarbons, the catalytic hydrogenation of fullerenes, etc., are surveyed. Much attention is devoted to the state of hydrogen in solid fullerene hydrides, the structure of fullerene hydrides, and their reactivity. The bibliography includes 148 references.
