- Abstract
A reversible wetting/dewetting procedure is reported for an open-cage fullerene with an 18-membered orifice. In a homogeneous mixture of H2O/EtOH/CHCl3, water was encapsulated into the cavity of the open-cage compound quantitatively at 80 °C. Addition of aqueous hydrogen fluoride into the water-encapsulated complex removed the encapsulated water completely at room temperature. H-bonding between the trapped water and fluoride is shown to play a key role for the water release process.
