Supramolecular Complexes of Resorcinarene‐Dendrimers and Fullerene C₆₀

Abstract

Dendritic branches of poly(arylether) with peripherial n‐propyl chains have been attached to a resorcinarene core. Viability to form supramolecular complexes with fullerene C₆₀ was studied with dendrimers of first and second generation. All the compounds were characterized by ¹H, ¹³C NMR, FTIR, UV‐vis spectroscopy, MALDI‐TOF, FAB+ mass spectra and elemental analysis.
