Tuning up: Carbon nanorings are structurally tuned to optimize their complexation with fullerenes (C60 and C70; see picture). The affinity of carbon nanorings with fullerenes correlates with the width of the contact area. As the intense fluorescence emission of the cyclic-paraphenyleneacetylene host is quenched by the complexation of a fullerene, this effect can be used as a basis of a fullerene sensor.
