Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
C60 and the fullerene family, e.g., C70, endohedral fullerenes, and fullerene derivatives, are expected to be applied in a wide range of fields, such as electronic devices, energy, the environment, and medical care, owing to their unique properties. For example, endohedral fullerenes and fullerene derivatives has always accompanied next-generation technology, as can be seen from their functionality at atomic or molecular levels using their nanospace or chemical combination. Especially in endohedral metallofullerenes, electron transfer occurs from the encapsulated species to fullerenes, so physical characteristics, functions, and reactivity different from those of empty fullerenes are expected. Many types of fullerenes are made in a variety of ways and have already been applied, including those in the realms of energy/environment, electronics/mechanics, bio/food, and medical treatment. To be used more, from the viewpoint of crystallography and engineering applications, it is extremely important to design, synthesize, and elucidate supramolecular fullerene architectures. Targeting all kinds of endohedral fullerenes, we accept a wide range of papers related to structure determination and application of fullerenes. Please submit your latest research results.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2100 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
