Safeguarding Catalytic and Optoelectronic Efficiency: The Imperative for Metal-Residue-Free Fullerene Precursors in the Chemical Industry

Fullerenes, notably buckminsterfullerene ($C_{60}$) and its higher-order counterparts ($C_{70}$ and $C_{84}$), have transitioned from laboratory curiosities to critical industrial feedstocks. Possessing a highly symmetric, icosahedral ($I_h$) closed-cage geometry composed of $12$ pentagons and $20$ hexagons, these carbon allotropes feature an…
