Od. Fox et al., Cadmium- and zinc-directed assembly of nano-sized, resorcarene-based host architectures which strongly bind C-60, CHEM COMMUN, (5), 2000, pp. 391-392
Nano-sized molecular loops based on a trimer of resorcarene ligands assembl
ed by six cadmium or zinc ions are shown to strongly bind the spherically s
haped fullerene C-60 in toluene and benzene solutions.
