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 …

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

Defining chemical processes with equations is the first important step in characterizing
equilibria for the assembly of supramolecular complexes, and the stoichiometry of the …

Along with the advent of supramolecular chemistry, research on fullerene receptors based
on noncovalent bonding interactions has attracted a lot of attention. Here, we present the …

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 …

Embedding heteroatoms in buckybowls is an effective approach to alter their electronic
structures and physicochemical properties. However, buckybowls with heteroatoms situated …

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 …

A hybrid nanocarbon receptor consisting of a calix [4] arene and a bent oligophenylene loop
(“molecular squid”), was obtained in an efficient, scalable synthesis. The system contains an …

Stereoisomerism is one of the most fundamental and indispensable notions in chemistry. We
have recently found that a novel form of stereoisomerism emerges in cycloarylenes, cyclic …

The planar trigonal structure of 1, 3, 5-trisubstituted benzene, named phenine, has been
adopted as basic units of polygonal networks to shape nanometer-sized curved organic π …
