Recently, the research paper Self-Assembled Perylene Bisimide-Cored Trigonal Prism as an Electron-Deficient Host for C₆₀ and C₇₀ Driven by "Like Dissolves Like", with Dr. Xingmao Chang as the first author and published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) in 2020, has become one of the most cited papers from 2020-2021.

Under the joint guidance of Prof. Fang Yu and Prof. Peter J. Stang of the University of Utah, this research has successfully realized the electron-deficient body encapsulation of fullerenes based on the principle of " Like Dissolves Like", which has been highly affirmed by JACS editors and professionals.

The first author of the paper, Dr. Xingmao Chang, is now a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Ulm in Germany as a Humboldt Scholar.
