Abstract
Fullerenes which were thought to be 'superaromatics' are actually 'sup
er-alkenes'. Reactions in fullerenes are varied, ranging from the addi
tion of simple molecules like H-2 to large molecules like dendrimers.
The synthesis, structure, characterization, along with simple reaction
s like halogenation, oxygenation, metalation, cycloaddition, polymeriz
ation and dendrimer addition are discussed.
