Abstract
Predictive catalysis must be the tool that does not replace experiments, but acts as a selective agent, so that synthetic strategies of maximum profitability are used in the laboratory in a surgical way. Here, nanotechnology has been used in olefin metathesis from homogeneous Ru-NHC catalysts, specifically annulating a C60 fullerene to the NHC ligand. Based on results with the C60 in the backbone, a sterile change with respect to the catalysis of the metal center, an attempt has been made to bring C60 closer to the metal, by attaching it to one of the two C-N bonds of the imidazole group of the SIMes (1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene) ligand (reference NHC ligand of the 2nd generation Grubbs catalysts) to increase the steric pressure of C60 in the first sphere of reactivity of the metal. The DFT calculated thermodynamics and the kinetics of SIMes-derived systems show that they are efficient catalysts for olefin metathesis.

Abstract
The combined experimental-computational study has been performed to investigate the complexes formed between C70 carbon allotrope and piperidine. The results of FT-IR, H-NMR, and C-NMR measurements, together with the calculations based on the DFT approach and molecular dynamics simulations, prove the existence of dative/covalent bonding in C70piperidine complexes. The dative bond forms not only at the region of five- and six-membered rings, observed previously with C60, but also at the region formed of six-membered rings. The structure, i.e., nonplanarity, explains the observed dative bond formation. New findings on the character of interaction of secondary amines with C70 bring new aspects for the rational design of modified fullerenes and their applications in electrocatalysis, spintronics, and energy storage.
