  Written by internationally recognized chemists, this book is the first of its kind to reflect upon the intense and rapidly growing interest in buckybowls, or fullerene fragments, specifically focusing on their synthesis and reactivity in metal binding reactions. The book broadly covers all aspects related to the fullerene fragment chemistry: current synthetic techniques, description of the available members of this new family, molecular geometry and trends in the solid-state packing, as well as extensions into physical properties and new buckybowl-based molecules and materials. This as-of-yet unresolved technology holds the key to developing ultra-thin, carbon-rich materials as components in molecular-scale electrical circuits. [432 Pages, Hardcover]
