“…For a long time, fullerenes have been widely studied as guests in various organic host architectures owing to their unusual shape (approximately spherical) and chemical nature (nonpolar polyenes). 55 These organic host architectures have specic sizes for C 60 to construct various host-guest molecular systems via supramolecular interactions and weak supramolecular van der Waals interactions, such as supramolecular organic frameworks, 64 cyclodextrin, 65 calix [8]arene, 66 crown ether, 67,68 macrocyclic bis-exTTF hosts, 50 and nanorings. 51,69 Cyclo-paraphenylene with ten phenyl groups has an appropriate size to complex with C 60 , as evidenced by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and NMR studies.…”
