Abstract

The intramolecular cavity of the spherical, concave hydrocarbons C60H60 1 and C54H48 2 is accessible to guest molecules through openings on their surfaces. The new carbocycles can be used to extract silver ions from the aqueous phase; 1 shows high selectivity and the best extraction properties of the known complex-forming hydrocarbons.
