À5. 73 ppm at À208C (Figure 1b). On the other hand, mixing of 1 and C60 at a molar ratio of 2: 1 under otherwise identical conditions to the above resulted in the predominant formation of 12'C60, whose MeÀRh signal was observed at δ= À5. 80 ppm, with minor signals at δ= À5. 73 ppm, as a result of 1'C60, and δ= À6. 06 and À6. 49 ppm, which are characteristic of conformational isomers of guest-free 1 (Figure 1 b).[3b] Similar trends were observed for 1 upon complexation with larger fullerenes C70 and C76 (Figure 1 b). For the 1: 1 complexation of C60 with 1, an absorptionspectral titration at 208C in toluene allowed the evaluation of the association constant (Kassoc) for 1'C60 as 2.1 105 mÀ1.[7] On the other hand, a 13C NMR titration experiment at À208C in [D8] toluene showed that resultant 1'C60 binds 1 with a Kassoc value of 5.2 103 mÀ1 for 12'C60,[7] which is two orders of magnitude smaller than that for 1'C60. Considering also the molecular models, the much smaller affinity of 1'C60 than C60 toward 1 is most likely because of an electronic effect, rather than a steric effect, of the first-bound host 1. As reported previously,[3b] cyclic dimers of zinc porphyrins have lower affinities than methylrhodium porphyrin analogues toward fullerenes. When host 2 [7](Scheme 1), a hybrid version of these two metalloporphyrin hosts, was allowed to interact with C60 in [D8] toluene, only 1: 1 complex 2'C60(δ= 139.6 ppm) was detected by 13C NMR spectroscopy over a wide temperature range (down to À808C), even when two equivalents of 2 with respect to C60 were present.[7] Therefore, in the formation of electronically less favored 12'fullerene complexes, the inherently large affinity of organorhodium porphyrins toward fullerenes plays a significant role. 1HNMR spectroscopy was also informative about the relative orientation of the metalloporphyrin units upon complexation of 1 with fullerenes. Before complexation, each methylrhodium porphyrin unit in 1 possesses one set of two equivalent meso protons and two sets of four equivalent pyrrole β protons. However, 1H NMR spectroscopic analysis of 12'C60, prepared by mixing 1 (5.0 10À3 m) and C60 in a 2: 1 ratio at À208C, showed splitting of each of the above sets of signals (Figure 2a), whereas no such splitting was displayed for the MeÀRh proton signal. Considering also the stoichiometry of the complexation with the absorption and 13C NMR spectra, such a 1H NMR spectral pattern indicates that host 1 dimerizes to form a supramolecular capsule which includes one C60 molecule, in which the two metalloporphyrin units in each host molecule adopt a nonparallel, tilted geometry with respect to one another on the NMR timescale (Figure 2a). In contrast with 12'C60, 1: 1 host/guest complex 1'C60, prepared by mixing 1 (5.0 10À4 m) and C60 in a 1: 2 ratio in [D8] toluene, showed an ordinary 1H NMR spectral profile without any particular splitting at À208C (Figure 2b). However, when cooled further to À908C, a splitting signature was displayed, as observed for 12'C60 at À208C (Figure 2a), in which the meso and pyrrole β protons both showed two sets of signals with an integral ratio of unity (Figure2b). This spectral profile is in sharp contrast with that of reference host molecule 3 with longer C6 alkylene spacers (Scheme 1),[7] in which 3'C60 exhibited only one set of signals for each of the corresponding protons under identical conditions.[7] By reference to crystallographically defined 6'C60,[3b] the fullerene guest in 3'C60 is most likely located in the center of the parallel-oriented two metalloporphyrin units. Therefore, the splitting signature, observed for the 1H NMR spectral profile of 1'C60 at À908C (Figure 2b …
