Fullerenes and carbon nanotubes(CNTs) are synthetic carbon allotropes that have cage
(quasi-0-dimensional) and cylindrical (quasi-1-dimensional) nanostructures, respectively. Since they were discovered (in 1985 and 1991, respectively), fullerenes and CNTs have attracted great attention due to their unique physical properties. In particular, organic
chemists became fascinated by the possibility of tailoring the properties of these nanocarbons, by means of chemical synthesis, to develop new materials for applications in optoelectronic devices, nanotechnology, composites, biology, and medicine. The recent developments in organic solar cells have further stimulated research on the synthesis
and application of new fullerene derivatives that can act as vital components with favorable energy levels for accepting electrons from photoexcited ptype materials. In fact, up to now no other compound class has surpassed fullerenes as electron acceptors in photovoltaic devices. Graphene, a one-atom-thick planar sheet of sp2-bonded carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice, which can be considered as the basic structural element of
fullerenes and CNTs, was obtained for the first time by mechanical exfoliation of graphite in 2004. The pioneering experiments on this two-dimensional material revealed that it behaves as a zero-bandgap semi-metal with exceptional physical properties, such as a quantum Hall effect and ballistic charge transport, which led to the award of the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2010. Undoubtedly, this significant event will further stimulate the exploration of the chemical, physical, and materials properties of these nanocarbons, as well as the search for entirely new allotropic forms of carbon.
Wiley has responded to the vigorous recent progress in carbon research by publishing a book on the chemistry of nanocarbons edited by Takeshi Akasaka, Fred Wudl, and Shigeru Nagase, who are all distinguished chemists in the field of fullerenes and other nanocarbons. The book consists of 19 chapters by chemists who are internationally wellknown in the relevant fields, with emphasis on the chemistry aspects of nanocarbons ranging from fullerenes, CNTs, nanodiamonds, and graphene to nanocarbon onions.
........................................................................................................
To conclude, this book provides a solid overview of the vigorous developments in the chemistry of nanocarbons in the past two decades. It covers experimental and theoretical aspects of fullerenes, CNTs, nano-diamonds, and graphene, as well as their potential applications across a broad range, from molecular electronics to biology and medicine.
I have enjoyed reading this book very much and believe that it will provide useful guidance,both for experts and for non-specialists who are interested in nanocarbons research.
