What a solution! A bi‐capped inclusion complex of C 60 with organosilylated γ‐cyclodextrin that is highly soluble in nonpolar and weakly polar organic solvents, such as CHCl 3 or cyclohexane, was prepared and characterized. The complex facilitates the separation of C 60 from C 70 and selective functionalization of C 60 . Furthermore, fabrication of a thin film of the complex by using a solution technique was demonstrated.
