Recently, organic donor–acceptor complexes (co-crystals) have been strongly explored as
active elements in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) due to their tunable energy level …

Recently, the use of the palladium-catalyzed inter-and/or intra-molecular C–H bond
arylations in the building of various π-extended (hetero) aromatic structures has emerged as …

Chiral induction has been an important topic in chemistry, not only for its relevance in
understanding the mysterious phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking in nature …

Understanding the fundamental processes of light-harvesting is crucial to the development
of clean energy materials and devices. Biological organisms have evolved complex …

Despite enormous advances in the edge extension chemistry of nanographenes, examples
of peri-annulations and the knowledge of their effect on molecular properties remain scarce …

Here we report the synthesis of a novel buckybowl (7) with a high bowl-to-bowl inversion
barrier (ΔG‡= 38 kcal mol− 1), which renders the rate of inversion slow enough at room …

Fullerene fragments, referred to as buckybowls, are garnering interest due to their distinctive
molecular shapes and optoelectronic properties. Here, we report the synthesis and …

Pentagonal cyclization at the bay positions of armchair-edged graphenic cores can build
molecular bowls without the destruction of hexagonal lattices. However, this synthesis …

We disclose an indenoannulated tridecacyclene comprising a central cyclooctatetraene
moiety with multiple adjacent pentagonal rings which is accessible in a concise synthetic …

Carboncones, a special family of all-carbon allotropes, are predicted to have unique
properties that distinguish them from fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphenes. Owing …
