Tuning up : Carbon nanorings are structurally tuned to optimize their complexation with fullerenes (C 60 and C 70 ; see picture). The affinity of carbon nanorings with fullerenes correlates with the width of the contact area. As the intense fluorescence emission of the cyclic‐paraphenyleneacetylene host is quenched by the complexation of a fullerene, this effect can be used as a basis of a fullerene sensor.
