| Abstract | In the recent paper by Atwood et al. (Nature 368, 229-231, 1994) on a purification procedure for C60 and C70 by selective complexation with calixarenes, it was implied that we had previously studied the complexation of C60 with cyclodextrins (Williams, R. M. & Verhoeven, J. W., Recl. Trav. Chim. Pays-Bas 111, 531-532, 1992). In fact we used calix[8]arenes as the selective host species; but ours were water-soluble rather than the water-insoluble variants used by Atwood et al. |
