The JACS journal features on its inside inner cover the recently published research article “Regioswitchable Bingel Bis-Functionalization of Fullerene C70 via Supramolecular Masks” by Valentina Iannace, Clara Sabrià and Prof. Xavi Ribas of the QBIS-CAT group and Dr. Ferran Feixas of the TCBioSys group at the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) of the University of Girona, also in collaboration with Dr. Max von Delius (University of Ulm) and Prof. Daniel Maspoch (Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology). The right supramolecular mask directs the bis-adduct formation to the desired 2 or 5 o’clock hour.
