Abstract

(Figure Presented) A selective invitation: A 2D hydrogen-bonded porous network formed by an azobenzene derivative (NN4A) contains two different types of cavities and is shown to selectively accommodate fullerenes C80 and Sc3N@C80 (see picture). Highly ordered fullerene arrays are constructed at the liquid-solid interface of graphite by coadsorption of fullerenes and NN4A. While C60 occupies both types of cavity, C80 and Sc3N@C80 are only immobilized in one cavity type.
