Graphical Abstract

Den Gürtel enger schnallen: Die strukturelle Charakterisierung des mehrfach geladenen Fragments einer „Sessel“-Nanoröhre, das durch Reduktion des neutralen Moleküls mit Kalium gebildet wurde, offenbart eine bemerkenswerte elliptische Stauchung des Kohlenstoffrings (siehe Bild). Die entstandenen Tetraanionen bilden ein supramolekulares Aggregat mit Kaliumkationen, das solvatisierte Gastmoleküle aufnehmen kann.
