An enantiopure molecular capsule was synthesized quantitatively using complexation of four phosphangulenes as concave molecules with four Zn ions and applied to fullerene binding and chirogenesis. The capsule encapsulated selectively fullerene and its derivatives based on the size of cavity. The fullerene C incorporated in the capsule exhibited induced-CD signals at the transitions of C.
