Abstract

Fullerene research will shortly revolutionize chemistry says the author of this highlight. At the spring meeting of the American Chemical and Physical Societies there were already a whole series of lectures devoted to this fascinating new class of compounds. C₆₀ is commercially available and has been oxidized, reduced, hydrogenated, fluorinated, and derivatized in many other ways. Most spectacular of course is that Rb_xC₆₀ is a superconductor with T_c = 30 K. (Figure Presented.)
