A reversible wetting/dewetting procedure is reported for an open‐cage fullerene with an 18‐membered orifice. In a homogeneous mixture of H 2 O/EtOH/CHCl 3 , water was encapsulated into the cavity of the open‐cage compound quantitatively at 80 °C. Addition of aqueous hydrogen fluoride into the water‐encapsulated complex removed the encapsulated water completely at room temperature. H‐bonding between the trapped water and fluoride is shown to play a key role for the water release process.
