Controlled Fabrication of Fullerene C₆₀ into Microspheres of Nanoplates through Porphyrin‐Polymer‐Assisted Self‐Assembly

Holey balls! Novel microspheres made up of nanoplates have been fabricated by porphyrin-polymer-assisted supramolecular self-assembly of C60. The obtained C60 microspheres are single-crystalline and exhibit pure fcc structure. This is a rare example of a hierarchical supramolecular architecture fabricated by the self-assembly of unmodified C60.
