Formation and photophysics of a stable concave–convex supramolecular complex of C 60 and a substituted s-triazine derivative

Spectroscopic, electrochemical and computational data show that C60 and a highly phenylated s-triazine derivative form a stable supramolecular complex at micromolar concentrations in solution at ambient temperatures, due to strong van der Waals attraction between their complementary surfaces.
