Although synthetic fullerenes have only been around for a few years, there are thousands of scientific articles dealing with them. This is the first monograph in the field and thus represents a vital source of information summarizing the most important and fundamental aspects of the organic and organometallic chemistry of the fullerenes.
The book is logically arranged so that information is easy to retrieve, and the style lends itself to effortless reading and to learning more about the chemical properties of a family of molecules that constitute new building blocks for novel architectures in the ever-expanding universe of synthetic chemistry.
Belongs on the shelves of university libraries as well as those of chemists interested in the art and science of structure and property manipulation by synthesis.
Summary: THE CHEMISTRY OF THE FULLERENES
Rating: 5
This book represents the first systematic treatise on fullerene chemistry, and Andreas Hirsch presents the state of the discipline four years after the fullerene synthesis and nine years after the fullerene discovery. The book has its roots in a research stay of the author with Fred Wudl at Santa Barbara, one of the leading centers of fullerene chemistry.
The book is written from the point of view of organic chemistry and follows a logical systematization of fullerene reactions: reduction, nucleophilic additions, cycloadditions, hydrogenation, radical additions, oxidation, reactions with electrophiles. Also treated are complexes with transition metals. Fullerene production, separation and purification is discussed comprehensively. Written in an engaging style, the book’s 203 pages succeed in conveying the entire range of fullerene chemistry to chemists of various kinds. The author is not particularly concerned with the more theoretical aspects of fullerene topology, symmetry, or computations. After all, the latter would in fact require a monograph of its own, as would various physical applications of fullerenes. The monograph, however, covers all aspects of C60 derivatization, and touches C70 as understood in early 1994 (while chemistry of higher fullerenes was virtually unknown that time).
The Chemistry of the Fullerenes perfectly meets what a practicing research chemist would expect. The book, however, can serve for advanced courses, too. After a wave of multi-author compendia, this is the first single author work; it is balanced, systematic, and uniform in style. Hirsch’s treatise is further evidence of the almost explosive development of fullerene science, which, within a few years, has already accumulated a wealth of results.
