Charge‐transfer interactions stabilize the 1:2 complex between C 60 and γ‐cyclodextrin (schematic representation shown on the right). Since it is known that C 60 derivatives inhibit, for instance, the HIV‐1 protease, this result is also important for the understanding of the molecular recognition of C 60 by the hydrophobic pocket of the active site of enzymes.
