title: Hydrogen bonding-directed quantitative self-assembly of cyclotriveratrylene capsules and their encapsulation of C60 and C70.
abstract: Under the direction of intramolecular three-center hydrogen bonding, two cyclotriveratrylene (CTV)-based capsules are assembled quantitatively from C(3)-symmetric CTV precursors by forming three imine bonds from arylamide-derived foldamer segments. (1)H and (13)C NMR and UV/vis experiments reveal that the capsules strongly encapsulate C(60) and C(70) in discrete solvents.
