Inclusion of C60 into the hexagonal columnar space formed by intra- and intermolecular CH...pi interactions.
A triarylmethane-based host molecule with three anthryl groups that can interact with C60 was synthesized. Co-recrystallization of this host molecule with C(60) resulted in a linear alignment of C60 in the hexagonal columnar space formed by intra- and intermolecular CH...pi interactions between anthryl groups in the crystalline state.
