Cover Feature: Complexation of an Anthracene‐Triptycene Nanocage Host with Fullerene Guests through CH⋅⋅⋅π Contacts (ChemPlusChem 5/2021)

The Cover Feature shows a fullerene molecule included in a nanocage constructed from anthracene and triptycene units. The strong affinity in the supramolecular aromatic complex is attributed to multipoint CH⋅⋅⋅π interactions between the cage host and the spherical guest. The nanocage showed higher s...

Summary:The Cover Feature shows a fullerene molecule included in a nanocage constructed from anthracene and triptycene units. The strong affinity in the supramolecular aromatic complex is attributed to multipoint CH⋅⋅⋅π interactions between the cage host and the spherical guest. The nanocage showed higher selectivity toward C70 compared to C60. More information can be found in the Full Paper by S. Toyota and co‐workers.
