In our search for efficient molecular receptors for fullerenes, we are pursuing the synthesis of a bidental molecular receptor (1) with both triphenylene and corannulene pincers and 2,5-Norbornadiene as a tether. MM2 calculations predict high binding constants for both C60@1 and C70@1

Exploring the use of both planar and curved Surface polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the design and synthesis of molecular receptors for fullerenes
