This review summarizes recent advances in the chemistry of curved aromatic molecules. By
focusing on the key accomplishments of the last decade, we provide a general overview of …

The first synthesis of a cyclic oligophenylene possessing a radial π system was reported in
2008. In the short period that has elapsed since, there has been an ever-increasing level of …

In the last 13 years several synthetic strategies were developed that provide access to [n]
cycloparaphenylenes ([n] CPPs) and related conjugated nanohoops. A number of potential …

Since 1996, a growing number of strained macrocycles, comprising only sp2‐or sp‐
hybridized carbon atoms within the ring, have become synthetically accessible, with the [n] …

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 …

The core N− H units of planar porphyrins are often inaccessible to forming hydrogen‐
bonding complexes with acceptor molecules. This is due to the fact that the amine moieties …

Here, we compare analogous cyclic and acyclic π-conjugated molecules as n-type
electronic materials and find that the cyclic molecules have numerous benefits in organic …

[10] Cycloparaphenylene ([10] CPP) and its tetraalkoxy derivatives were synthesized on the
gram scale in 7 steps starting from 1, 4-benzoquinone or 2, 5-dialkoxy-1, 4-benzoquinone …

The first example of a BN‐doped cycloparaphenylene BN‐[10] CPP was synthesized and
characterized. Its reactivity and photophysical properties were evaluated in direct …

Abstract An ethylene glycol‐decorated [6] cyclo‐meta‐phenylene (CMP) macrocycle was
synthesized and utilized as a subunit to construct a fourfold AuI2− aryl metallacycle with an …
