C60 has been synthesized by chemical methods in 12 steps. Lessons learned in the
author's laboratory during a decade devoted to the synthesis and study of open geodesic …

Buckybowls, bowl‐shaped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons structurally related to
fullerenes, represent a class of hydrocarbons with unique properties and a potential for …

Thermal cyclization of 7, 10-diethynylfluoranthene (3) in the gas phase gives corannulene
(2), the smallest bowl-shaped polycyclic hydrocarbon fragment of C60 with fullerene-like …

In this work we quantify the local aromaticity of six‐membered rings in a series of planar and
bowl‐shaped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and fullerenes. The evaluation of …

The surface extension of all‐carbon based bowl‐shaped molecules, such as corannulene
and sumanene, to synthesize even larger buckybowls has been widely studied, leaving …

Most of the bowl‐shaped molecules are synthesized via a core‐periphery strategy with the
bowl rim closed at the final stage. However, the construction of heteroatom‐doped …

Since the discovery of fullerenes,[1] bowl-shaped polyarenes that map onto the surface of
C60 have attracted considerable attention.[2] These geodesic fullerene fragments or …

Branched hydrocarbon propellers (9 and 12) were prepared by stepwise palladium-
catalyzed Hagihara− Sonogashira coupling reactions and Diels− Alder cycloadditions and …

Herein, we investigate the association of a fullerene fragment, hemifullerene C30H12, with
an electron‐donating bowl‐shaped tetrathiafulvalene derivative (truxTTF). UV/Vis titrations …

Abstract The construction of 1, 2‐position‐connected azulene oligomers was achieved. In
the crystal packing structure of the terazulene, two molecules of (Ra)‐and (Sa) …
