Our research group has its main focus on the synthesis of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes.

New fullerene species, including endohedral, exohedral and heterofullerenes are
synthesized by the high frequency furnace method, developed in our group.

A second focus lies in the direct synthesis of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes. For this purpose
specially designed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are synthesized and investigated for controlled
synthesis of the respective carbon nanostructures.
