Aromaticity cannot be measured directly by any physical or chemical experiment because it
is not a well-defined magnitude. Its quantification is done indirectly from the measure of …

Cyclophanes have been firmly entrenched as a distinct class of compounds for well over half
a century. The two main factors that have kept this field of chemistry going so strongly for …

[n] Cycloparaphenylenes (n= 8–13, CPPs) were synthesized, and their physical properties
were systematically investigated.[8] and [12] CPPs were selectively prepared from the …

This article describes the most recent developments in the synthesis of three‐dimensional π‐
conjugated molecules and the elucidation of their properties made by our research group …

The synthesis of highly strained [5] cycloparaphenylene ([5] CPP), a structural unit of the
periphery of C60 and the shortest possible structural constituent of the sidewall of a (5, 5) …

The delocalized π-electronic component of benzene is unstable toward a localizing
distortion and is at the same time stabilized by resonance relative to a localized reference …

Undeniably, the concept of aromaticity is theorydependent and, as documented by the
contributions to this thematic issue of Chemical Reviews, has numerous definitions …

The balance between strain relief and aromatic stabilization dictates the form and function of
non-planar π-aromatics. Overcrowded systems are known to undergo geometric …

With the approach presented herein, a large aromatic π-system is synthesized, which shows
extraordinarily high solubility and an effective suppression of aggregation. This was due to a …

The chiroptical properties of planar‐chiral and helical molecules without stereogenic centres
and with well‐defined structure, strain, electronic properties and chirality are investigated by …
