Complexation of fullerenes with dendritic cyclotriveratrylene derivatives

Dendritic derivatives containing a cyclotriveratrylene core for the complexation of fullerenes have been prepared, The association constants for the binding of fullerene derivatives determined by UV-vis titrations in CH2Cl2 and C6H6 ate significantly increased as the generation number of the dendritic substituents is increased, (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
