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].
