Low energy electron attachment to buckminsterfullerene in Rydberg atom-buckminsterfullerene collisions
… the low energy electron attachment properties of Buckminsterfullerene, which is known to capture free electrons with energies up to $\sim$12 eV. Present data agree with a previous Rydberg atom study but disagree with theoretical predictions and also with previous free electron-$C\sb{60}$ studies. …

Autodocking Studies of Oxygenated Fullerenes as Inhibitors of The HIV Protease
… compounds were produced by ozonation of C60 (Buckminsterfullerene) and were identified by elemental analysis and by SALI (surface analysis by laser ionization). Some of these compounds, especially a batch, SK-5, a mixture of C60O1-8, were shown to inhibit activities of HIV-Protease with IC50 …

Acenaphthylene Based CP-PAH Materials for Organic Semiconductors
… in OPVs. The cage-like structure associated with buckminsterfullerene is made of fused six- and five-member rings. Acenaphthylene is a basic fragment of C60 and has shown potential as a valuable building block for n-type OSCs. To utilize this promising structure, the acenaphthylene unit has been …
