Abstract The chemistry of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes have highly contributed to the progress in the fundamental and applies science of these nanomaterials over the last 15 years. This review focuses on the non-covalent chemistry of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes with nitrogen and/or oxygen containing heterocydic molecules such as porphyrin, DNA, protein, peptide and carbohydrate. Not only exohedral but also endohedral functionalization is reviewed, because the above guest molecules can interact with both faces of the carbon nanotubes. New terminology is also proposed in the structural and stereochemistry of carbon nanotubes. 

This review focuses on the heterocyclic molecules such as porphyrins and the analogues (Sect. 2.1), and carbohydrates (Sect. 2.6) as host molecules for fullerenes. Therefore, references are provided here for other excellent receptors for fullerenes such as calixarenes [11-19], cyclotriveratrylene [15,20-22] and carbon nanorings [23-28].
