Double encapsulation of C 60 , [6]CPP and Li + @C 60 inside a peropyrene-linked, CPP-based double nanohoop
Abstract
and the first within a CPP-based double nanohoop architecture. Evidently, the noncovalent attractive bonding exceeds the Coulomb repulsion of the two positive charges. These findings demonstrate that the intrinsic binding capability of the host is not fundamentally limited to 1 : 1 complexation but rather constrained by solid-state packing effects, suggesting that rational crystal engineering may enable access to such doubly occupied architectures in the condensed phase.
