Abstract

Pack them in: The complexation of C60 molecules within self-assembled helical nanotubes (see picture) represents a new strategy for solubilizing C60. The C60 molecules in this supramolecular assembly are closely packed in a one-dimensional array and experience the helicity of their environment.
