Fullerene chemistry has come a long way since 1990, when the first bulk production of C60
was reported. In the past decade, progress in supramolecular chemistry has opened some …

This tutorial review summarizes recent progress in the design, synthesis, and multifunctional
properties of fully conjugated macrocyclic π-systems. We focus on the π-expanded …

Wide applications of personal consumer electronics have triggered tremendous need for
portable power sources featuring light-weight and mechanical flexibility. Perovskite solar …

In perovskite based planar heterojunction solar cells, the interface between the TiO2
compact layer and the perovskite film is critical for high photovoltaic performance. The deep …

Molecular self-assembly is an essential process in biological systems to perform
sophisticated functions. Along the same line, development of artificial self-assembled …

Protein pores are highly specific in binding to chiral substrates and in catalysing
stereospecific reactions, because their active pockets are asymmetric and stereoselective …

An anthracene cyclic hexamer was synthesized by the coupling reaction as a macrocyclic
hydrocarbon host. This disk‐shaped host included a C60 guest in 1: 1 ratio to form a Saturn …

Electron-rich (donor) and electron-deficient (acceptor) units to construct donor–acceptor (D–
A) conjugated macrocycles were investigated to elucidate their interactions with electron …

Saturn‐like systems consisting of nanoscale rings and spheres are fascinating motifs in
supramolecular chemistry. Several ring molecules are known to include spherical molecules …

Angle‐strained alkyne‐containing π‐conjugated macrocycles are attractive compounds both
in functional materials chemistry and biochemistry. Their interesting reactivity as well as …
