The research team led by Prof. Du Pingwu from the
University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese
Academy of Sciences (CAS) first successfully synthesized an
all-phenylene bismacrocycle (bis- means two) with Siamese-twin
structure and used fullerene as guest molecules to assemble a
peanut-shaped supramolecular complex. This study was published in
Angewandte Chemie.
