“…The encapsulation of polyaromatic fullerene guests by saccharidebased molecular hosts, that is, cyclodextrin dimers, in water has been reported by several groups (28)(29)(30). The intriguing host-guest complexes prompted us to invert the relationship and use a polyaromatic-shelled host (31,32) for the selective recognition of saccharide guests.…”

“…This is important in separation technology of the fullerene and changing its properties. 3 Fullerene C 60 readily forms host-guest complexes with a variety of compounds, such as porphyrins, 4 calixarenes, 5 cyclodextrins, 6 cyclotriveratrylenes (CTV), 7 and concave polyarenes. 8 A starting point in design principles is the use of a concave host molecules having complimentary of curvature, then to optimise the non-covalent interactions between the C 60 and the host molecule(s).…”

A saddle-shaped Ni-macrocycle bearing flexible benzyl arms, Ni(TBTAA), 1, has been prepared and structurally authenticated in the solid state as a toluene adduct, with the toluene residing in the extended cavity of the macrocycle, close to two of benzylic substituents. The Ni-macrocycle forms a crystalline inclusion complex with fullerene C 60 , {C 60 -(1) 2 }Á(toluene) 5 , 2, which has each fullerene encapsulated by two macrocycles involving pÁ Á Áp interactions to the phenyl lined face of the macrocycles, as well as CHÁ Á Áp from the benzyl groups and toluene molecules closing up the fullerene surface. The CHÁ Á Áp for the benzyl groups effectively increases the steric demands of the macrocycle over the surface of the fullerene, circumventing any fullereneÁ Á Áfullerene interactions. The nature of the interactions in the fullerene complex has been probed using Hirshfeld surface analysis.
