They are actually key functional elements that support life itself in all living beings.In this talk we will focus on artificial molecular machines which switch their structure between two well-defined conformers/configurational isomers by photoisomerization, metal coordination/decoordination, and redox process. All the species presented bear two units of corannulene (C20H10), a geodesic polyarene capable of establishing attractive interactions with fullerenes through concave-convex π-π interactions. The operational principle relies on the formation or disruption of a molecular tweezer by placing two corannulene units in the right location to establish a cavity for fullerene recognition. Their switching properties, especially the in-situ reversibility, and the impact produced onto their ability to recognize fullerenes (C60, C70) will be shown and discussed.
