Abstract

In article number 1800720, Koji Miki, Kouichi Ohe, and co-workers report the “ring toss” method, throwing carbon nanorings onto carbon nanotubes, to prepare “tube-in-ring” supramolecular complexes. Carbon nanorings, [n]cycloparaphenyleneacetylenes, are utilized to demonstrate the formation of “tube-in-ring” complexes. The good size fit between the concave inner surface of the carbon nanorings and the convex outer surface of carbon nanotubes is important for the efficient production of rotaxane-like complexes. This work provides a strategy to prepare interlocked carbon nanotubes for next-generation electric devices and theranostic agents.
