A novel M2L2 molecular tube capable of binding fullerene C60 was synthesized from bispyridine ligands with embedded anthracene panels and Ag(I) hinges. Unlike previous molecular cages and capsules, this open-ended tubular host can accommodate a single molecule of various C60 derivatives with large substituents. The fullerene guest can then be released by using the ideal, noninvasive external stimulus, light.
一种新型的 M2L2 分子管，能够结合富勒烯 C60，由带有嵌入蒽基团的双吡啶配体和 Ag(I) 铰链合成。与以前的分子笼和胶囊不同，这种开放式管状主体可以容纳具有大取代基的各种 C60 衍生物的单个分子。然后，可以使用理想的、非侵入性的外部刺激光来释放富勒烯客体。
