Preface
Over the last two decades, the research of endohedral fullerenes has made a dramatic progress. Many types of endohedral fullerenes have been discovered, their production and separation techniques have been substantially improved, and comprehensive studies of their chemical and physical properties became possible. Encapsulation into the interior space of the fullerene cage stabilizes unique metal clusters or single atoms which are not known to exist in the free form. However, this stabilization is only partially achieved by the shielding of the species from the surrounding. Another important factor is that the carbon cage is not “innocent”. Namely, the electron transfer between the encapsulated species and the carbon cage plays crucial role in the structure and properties of endohedral metallofullerenes. Unprecedented molecular and electronic structure of endohedral fullerenes leads
