Summary

Encapsulating atoms or molecules inside fullerene cages could give rise to a myriad of novel molecules and materials. The existence of such species is now strongly supported by a growing body of experimental evidence. Fullerene-metal complexes generally thought to be endohedral are being produced and purified in milligram quantities, and their structure and properties are beginning to be explored.
