A lot of balls : Up to 24 C 60 units were assembled around a hexaphenylbenzene core by cobalt‐catalyzed cyclotrimerization of bis(aryl)alkyne fullerodendrimers (see scheme). Electrochemical investigations reveal that interactions between C 60 units within a single dendrimer molecule are extremely efficient.
