A computational approach was not only very successful in fullerene research, but advances in these studies have created the demand for the development of new theoretical methods. The last part of this chapter describes the application of the non-equilibrium Green s function formalism to the investigation of the current-voltage dependence of the fullerene molecule. This method can be also q>plied to a wide range of nanomolecular devices. 

We have reviewed a recent progress on the electrochemistry of LB films and related films of functionalized molecules including molecular wire compounds, phthalocyanines, artificial lipids, proteins and fullerene derivatives, and carbon nanotubes. Ultrathin films with ordered structures on substrates should be promising nanomaterials for future nanoelectronic and molecular-information transducers with controllable and fine structures at the molecular level. The construction of such artificial nanomolecular devices is a great challenge in the near future.

In our disgraceful times, if you must write a research proposal, you should not call it A study of fundamentals of intermolecular forces , but Methods in supramolecular crystal engineering for the development of nanomolecular materials, devices and biotechnological anticancer drugs . I have refereed many such abstruse documents, in which some colleagues well known to me for being fine quantum chemistry specialists boast their ability to fabricate nanotubes or to cure AIDS.
