Our group’s collaborative work with Dr. Thomas Bein and co-workers at Ludwig Maximilians University Munich will be featured on the back cover of an upcoming issue of Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. The abstract is included here:
A 3D covalent fullerene framework with a structure based on hexafunctionalized fullerene building blocks with octahedral symmetry is reported by T. Bein et al. in their Communication on page 7577 ff. Each fullerene in the highly ordered framework is separated from the next by six functional groups, and the mesoporosity is controlled by template-directed, evaporation-induced self-assembly with a block copolymer. The TEM images in the background show the periodic porous fullerene framework.
