The control of luminous radiation has extremely important implications for modern and future
technologies as well as in medicine. In this Review, we detail chemical structures and their …

The chemistry of copper is extremely rich because it can easily access Cu0, CuI, CuII, and
CuIII oxidation states allowing it to act through one-electron or two-electron processes. As a …

The search for new molecular and regular polymeric allotropes of carbon has greatly
stimulated the preparation and investigation of π‐conjugated acetylenic macrocycles, which …

Though investigated for decades, interest in push− pull chromophores (D− π− A), strong
electron donors (D) connected by π-conjugating spacers to strong electron acceptors (A) …

1.1. Background Conjugated organic compounds play a primary role in the development of
a new generation of optical and electronic materials. Molecules, oligomers, and polymers …

We calculate that significant quantum interference effects can be observed in elastic electron
transport through acyclic molecules. Interference features are evident in the transmission …

1, 2-Diethynylethenes (hex-3-ene-1, 5-diynes, DEEs) have found wide interest as potential
antitumor agents in medicinal chemistry1 and as redox active or chromophoric units in …

The synthesis and characterization of a novel oligothiophene, in which the thiophene rings
are annelated into a [7] helicene with cross-conjugated π-system, are described. Such [7] …

Nanostructured carbonaceous materials, that is, carbon materials with a feature size on the
nanometer scale and, in some cases, functionalized surfaces, already play an important role …

This Microreview concentrates on synthetic issues regarding shape‐persistent cycles whose
diameters range from a bit more than 1 nm up to the presently largest representative with …
