Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) stand as a novel type of newly emerged metal-carbon hybrid molecules and occupy an important position in the family of nanocarbon materials. Research on EMFs has flourished dramatically during the last 10-15 years and numerous high-impact results have been obtained. This area is now ready for a systematic and up-to-date summary. This book presents the most advanced review on all aspects of EMFs, including the generation, extraction, isolation, structural issues, theories, intrinsic properties, chemical behaviors, and potential applications, ending with a farsighted perspective.
