A new series of exTTF hosts has been synthesized for supramolecular binding study of fullerenes C60 and C70. Binding constants for C60 in chlorobenzene, toluene, toluene-CH2Cl2 and CS2 have been calculated for different hosts and a direct structure-affinity relationship has been established. As predicted, receptors with two exTTF moieties (1, 3 and 4) have demonstrated higher binding abilities ...

The electron affinities of C70 derivatives with trifluoromethyl, methyl and cyano groups were studied experimentally and theoretically using low-temperature photoelectron spectroscopy (LT PES) and density functional theory (DFT). The electronic effects of these functional groups were determined and found to be highly dependent on the addition patterns. Substitution of CF3 for CN for the same ad...

An ordered mesoporous carbon, CMK-3, was synthesized using a mesoporous siliceous material, SBA-15, as the template. CMK-3 was characterized and used for the adsorption of fullerenes C60 and C70. It was found that the adsorption capacity of CMK-3 is 4 times higher than that of activated carbon. The adsorption equilibrium isotherms of C60 and C70 on CMK-3 were studied for both single and binary ...

The encapsulation of the tetracationic palladium metallosquare with four pyrene-bis-imidazolylidene ligands [1]4+ a series organic molecules was studied by Electrospray ionization Travelling Wave Ion-Mobility Mass Spectrometry (ESI TWIM-MS). method allowed to determine Collision Cross Sections (CCSs), which were used assess size changes experienced host upon guest molecules. When fullerenes as ...
