Abstract:
The encapsulation of fullerenes with a cyclotriveratrylene derivative, capable to self assemble into a dimer by means of three strong 4-ureidopyrimidinone quadruple hydrogen bonds is described. The system shows preference for C84, allowing its easy enrichment directly from fullerene mixtures.
