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 …

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

Conspectus The discovery and creation of new forms of carbon have always transformed the
scientific landscape. For example, the discoveries of fullerenes, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) …

Macrocyclic structures are common synthetic targets in drug discovery,(1, 2) and therefore,
interest in their study is continuously increasing in this field.(3, 4) A classic example is …

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 …

[n] Cycloparaphenylenes (or “carbon nanohoops”) are cyclic fragments of carbon nanotubes
that consist of n para linked benzene rings. These strained, all sp2 hybridized macrocycles …

The Suzuki-Miyaura reaction (SMR), involving the coupling of an organoboron reagent and
an organic halide or pseudo-halide in the presence of a palladium or nickel catalyst and a …

The selective and predictable synthesis of structurally uniform carbon nanotubes (CNTs)
represents a long‐standing goal in both nanocarbon science and synthetic organic …

Carbon nanobelts that consist of a loop of fully fused benzene rings are long-standing and
challenging targets of organic synthesis and are key steps toward the ultimate synthesis of …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), tubular molecular entities that consist of sp 2-hybridized carbon
atoms, are currently produced as mixtures that contain tubes of various diameters and …
