Abstract

A selective invitation: A 2D hydrogen-bonded porous network formed by an azobenzene derivative (NN4 A) 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 NN4 A. While C60 occupies both types of cavity, C80 and Sc3N§C80 are only immobilized in one cavity type.
