Abstract

Since the discovery of C60 called buckminsterfullerene whose shape resembles that of geodesic domes, the so-called buckyballs have attracted extensive research interest and touted for many important applications. Similar to fullerenes, a class of caged clusters named “metallo-carbohedrenes” or “Met-Cars” have attracted reasonable research interest of cluster scientists.
