With the serendipitous discovery of crown ethers by Pedersen more than half a century ago
and the subsequent introduction of host–guest chemistry and supramolecular chemistry by …

A cycloparaphenylene can be thought of as the shortest possible cross section of an
armchair carbon nanotube. Although envisioned decades ago, these molecules—also …

Mechanically interlocked carbon nanostructures represent a relatively unexplored frontier in
carbon nanoscience due to the difficulty in preparing these unusual topological materials …

Fluorescent carbon nanomaterials have broadly useful chemical and photophysical
attributes that are conducive to applications in biology. In this review, we focus on materials …

Both pillar [n] arenes (P [n] As) and [n] cycloparaphenylenes ([n] CPPs) play an important
role in supramolecular chemistry. Herein, we report the precise synthesis of two …

Conspectus This Account describes a body of research on the design, synthesis, and
application of a new class of electronic materials made from conjugated macrocycles. Our …

With their bent π‐systems, cyclic conjugation and inherent cavities, conjugated nanohoops
are attractive for organic electronics applications. For ease of processing and morphological …

[n] Cycloparaphenylenes, or “carbon nanohoops,” are unique conjugated macrocycles with
radially oriented π-systems similar to those in carbon nanotubes. The centrosymmetric …

We report the synthesis and characterization of a novel type of nanohoop, consisting of a
cycloparaphenylene derivative incorporating a curved heptagon‐containing π‐extended …

Carbon nanorings (CNRs) and carbon nanobelts (CNBs) of various sizes and innovative
molecular architectures have ushered improvement in research in recent years. This serves …
