Some implications of cooperative potential of metal ions and electromagnetic fields' radiation (EMF) in carcinogenic processes are discussed. It is known that these factors, chemical and physical individually have connections with processes of oxidative stress. Special attention was paid to possible manifestation within the brain. Therefore, the entry of a few potentially neurotoxic metals into the brain is discussed.

Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) are constructed by fullerene cages encapsulating various metal atoms or metal clusters, which usually exhibit some motion. However, due to the fact that the elusive endohedral dynamics are related to many factors, it remains a challenge to image the motion of internal species. Recently, the electron spin was found to be a sensitive probe to detect the motion of internal species in EMFs.

Since the discovery of La@C, a wide array of endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) have been synthesized and documented. Various metals, including lanthanides, transition metals, alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and actinides, have been successfully incorporated into the inert fullerene cavities. The interaction between these encapsulated metal species and the fullerene cage isomers plays a crucial role in determining distinct molecular structures and imparting versatile chemical behaviors to these compounds.

[]Cycloparaphenylenes ([]CPPs) are strained macrocycles, comprising only sp-hybridized carbon atoms. In recent years, []CPPs have become of great research interest in the field of supramolecular chemistry since their special structure enables the formation of novel host-guest complexes. In this work, we investigate the gas-phase chemistry of noncovalent complexes of [10-12]CPP with the pristine fullerenes C and the endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) ScN@-C, ScN@-C and MN@-C (M = Sc, Y, Lu, Gd).

The ring-opening reaction of aromatic molecules is a significant and critical process for the construction of carbon-based and related functional materials with desired structures and properties. However, direct observation and control of such a process at a molecular level remains a challenge. Here, we employed the octahedral voids in endohedral metallofullerene (EMF) crystals as nanoreactors to accommodate aromatic m-xylene molecules and regulate the ring-opening reaction of guest m-xylene by applying a high pressure.
