Belt-shaped macrocycles possessing saloph units as their walls have been generated by the double circular connection of a bis-armed bifunctional monomer bearing both o-phenylenediamine and salicylaldehyde functionalities. The saloph-belt macrocycles showed unique properties, such as the selective inclusion of fullerenes (K-a(C-70)/K-a(C-60) > 100), utilizing their rigid scaffolds.
