The supramolecular complexes of metallofullerenes and carbon nanoring were constructed and their properties were studied. The size-selective encapsulation of metallofullerene Sc3N@C-78, Sc3N@C-80 and Sc2C2@C-82 by a carbon nanoring of [12]Cycloparaphenylene ([12]CPP) was found. Fluorescence spectral titration experiments showed the different quenching effect of matallofullerenes on photoluminance of [12]CPP. It was found that Sc2C2@C-82 has a stronger affinity to [12]CPP, and their supramolecular complex has a stronger host-guest interaction. Electrochemical results revealed that the redox potentials of encapsulated matallofullerenes are shifted compared to pristine species. Moreover, these supramolecular complexes can be dissociated using a metal-organic framework (MOF-177), which can only absorb the metallofullerene, leaving behind hollow [12]CPP. These results reveal the special supramolecular chemistry for metallofullerenes, [12]CPP nanoring, and porous MOF-177. In addition, the powerful attraction of porous MOF-177 for metallofullerene can break the host-guest interaction between metallofullerene and nanoring, which is applicable in separation.
