Abstract
When complexed with tetrakis(p-halophenyl)ethylene, the C60 molecule arranges to form chiral inclusion crystals. The supramolecular organisation of C60 by inclusion crystallisation with host compounds has been of considerable interest in recent years due to their potential application to new materials with novel functions.1 The linear [2+2] polymerisation of C60 molecules in the supramolecular complex has also been reported.2 Here, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the new C60 molecular complex with tetrakis(piodophenyl)ethylene 1d in which C60 molecules are arranged in linear columns.
