Essay
The development of the method for functionalization of carbon clusters
is one of the important research topics because the functionalized carbon
clusters will obtain much potential for application. As described in
my thesis new multiple addition reactions are developed and these reactions
are good candidates for supply of useful functionalized carbon clusters
in practical scale. The modified carbon clusters are attractive enough
that we want to investigate by ourselves. While the functionalization
of outer surface is efficient in preparation of material, that of inner
space gave the opportunity to “see” single small organic molecule.....[full
