Abstract
Fullerenes C60 are molecules composed of carbon atoms arranged in a hollow spherical structure. They have been found to bind to transition metal complexes, which are molecules composed of a metal atom and one or more other atoms. This binding has been found to be very strong, with the fullerene molecules forming a protective shell around the transition metal complex. This has potential applications in a range of fields, such as biochemistry and nanotechnology. This review provides a description of some of the examples of such binding, including the different types of transition metals involved, the binding energies associated and the different structures observed.Keywords
