Electrochemical Properties of Fullerene C60 and C70

The electrochemical properties of Ni, Pd, and Pt complexes with fullerenes were studied most thoroughly and systematically; this is why the analysis of these results allows one to elucidate the dependence of the electronic structure of complexes on such factors as the nature of metal and the metal-bound ligands, the number of added metallofragments. The progress in the synthesis of various fullerene complexes in tandem with studying their electrochemical properties make it possible to choose the best objects for studying the prospects of their application as the catalysts of different processes and also as the components for the development of materials and devices for molecular electronics.
