Method of synthesizing new type of nickel-carbon heterofullerenes

more »

Scientists have come up with a method of synthesizing a new type of nickel-carbon compound. Heterofullerenes are hollow molecules with a nearly-spherical shape, which, unlike the typical fullerenes, contain atoms of elements other than carbon. Such compounds were synthesized quite a while ago, in 1991, but till now no heterofullerenes containing nickel, or any other transition metal, have been obtained.
