The first volume devoted entirely to fullerenes. Covers bulk production by extraction from carbon smoke deposits; carbon-arc synthesis; separation of fullerene mixtures; doping the fullerenes; structural elucidation by ¹³C NMR, X-ray and vibrational spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, crystallography, etc.; conductivity and superconductivity in fullerenes doped with alkali metals; thermal properties of fullerenes; and metal complexes of fullerenes.
