Recognition of C60by tetra- and tri-quinoxaline cavitands

What is it about?

Molecular recognition of C60 fullerene by two cavitands, bearing four and three quinoxaline walls, is reported here.

Why is it important?

Due to the strong energy-transfer process showed in solution, this mode of supramolecular assembly based on quinoxaline cavitands and C60 can lead to the realisation of supramolecular nanohybrid structures with potential applications in electronand energy-transfer devices.
