Weighting non-covalent forces in the molecular recognition of C60. Relevance of concave–convex complementarity

The relative contributions of several weak intermolecular forces to the overall stability of the complexes formed between structurally related receptors and [60]fullerene are compared, revealing a discernible contribution from concave–convex complementarity.
