Molecular Russian Doll helps to solve chemical problem

A three-shell nanoreactor enables record synthesis of functionalized fullerene A Catalan-German research team has succeeded in using a three-shell “matryoshka” architecture to solve a long-standing problem in chemical synthesis. The researchers from Girona and Ulm have developed a three-dimensional construct of nested molecules, which is best imagined as a soccer ball stuck in a hula
