Subphthalocyanines hydrogen bonded capsules featuring norbornadiene tethers: Promising fullerene receptors

- A new subphthalocyanine-norbornadiene based receptor was designed.
- It can bind C60 stronger that the C60H28 buckycatcher.
- Due to hydrogen bonding the receptor forms a capsule which displays high stability.
- The synthetic route of the receptor is described in detail.
