The functionalization of C–H bonds in organic molecules containing functional groups has
been one of the holy grails of catalysis. One synthetically important approach to the diverse …

Planar and curved polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) attract significant attention as
molecular models of fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene, thus stimulating broad …

A saddle-shaped aza-nanographene containing a central 1, 4-dihydropyrrolo [3, 2-b] pyrrole
(DHPP) has been prepared via a rationally designed four-step synthetic pathway …

Schwarzites are porous (spongy‐like) carbon allotropes with negative Gaussian curvatures.
They are proposed by Mackay and Terrones inspired by the works of the German …

A series of six dications composed of pure hydrocarbons with one to six non-substituted 9,
10-anthrylene units end-capped with two dibenzotropyliums were designed and synthesized …

A saddle‐shaped π‐extended zinc porphyrin containing a peripheral pyridyl ligand
undergoes quantitative self‐assembly into a cyclic trimer. The trimer has a prismatic …

With the name “phenine” given to 1, 3, 5-trisubstituted benzene for a fundamental trigonal
planar unit to weave nanometer-sized networks, a series of curved nanocarbon molecules …

Expanding the diversity of multi‐macrocyclic nanocarbons, particularly those with all‐
benzene scaffolds, represents intriguing yet challenging synthetic tasks. Complementary to …

Carbon-rich macrocycles and nanobelts have attracted considerable attention for decades
because their aesthetically molecular structures, excellent physical properties, and potential …

A 126 π‐electron nanobowl molecule, phenine tridehydrosumanene, was synthesized in 12
