A work in Nature Communications presents a supramolecular nanocage which encapsulates fullerenes of different sizes and allows the extraction of pure C60 and C70 through a washing-based strategy. The work was coordinated from the Universitat de Girona. Contributors include Ramón y Cajal Researcher Dr. Inhar Imaz and ICREA Research Prof. Daniel Maspoch from the ICN2 Supramolecular NanoChemistry & Materials Group.
