Abstract
A self-assembled fullerene receptor based on calix[5]arene has been develop ed. Silver cation complexation held together the two calix[5]arenes with bi pyridine units providing a large enough cavity to take up C-60 or C-70. The formation of the supramolecular complex with C-60 or C-70 was established by using the electrospray mass spectrometry. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
