Geodesic polyarenes constitute a rapidly growing family of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs) that resemble the geodesic domes of the great 20th century American architect …

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 …

Lithium-coordinated polyaromatic anions such as tetrareduced corannulene, C20H104−(1
4−), are useful substrates to model and ultimately improve the graphitic electrodes in lithium …

Bowl‐shaped mono‐and dianions are prepared by reduction of corannulene (C20H10, 1)
with sodium and potassium metals in the presence of [18] crown‐6 ether. Single‐crystal X …

Curved polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their charged products are of special
fundamental interest owing to their unique balance of strain and conjugation, which sheds …

The first report of complexation of a transition metal to corannulene in 1997 [1] triggered
intensive exploration of metal binding reactions to bowl-shaped polyaromatic hydrocarbons …

Spectroscopic Properties of Inorganic and Organometallic Compounds provides a unique
source of information on an important area of chemistry. Divided into sections mainly …

This chapter summarizes the synthesis, physical properties, structure, and crystal packing of
buckybowls. Buckybowls exemplify an intermediate class of polynuclear aromatic …

Self-assembly processes of the highly reduced bowl-shaped corannulene generated by the
chemical reduction with a binary combination of alkali metals, namely Li–Rb, have been …

The reduction of several annelated corannulene derivatives was undertaken using lithium
and potassium metals. It was found that annelation affects the annulenic character of …
