Since the first synthetic report in 2003 by Sakurai et al., sumanene (derived from the Indian
'Hindi as well as Sanskrit word'“Suman”, which means “Sunflower”), a beautifully simple yet …

The layered structures of graphite and related nanographene molecules play key roles in
their physical and electronic functions. However, the stacking modes of negatively curved …

Organic ferroelectrics, in which the constituent molecules retain remanent polarization,
represent an important topic in condensed-matter science, and their attractive properties …

Synthesis of buckybowls have stayed highly challenging due to the large structural strain
caused by curved π surface. In this paper, we report the synthesis and properties of two …

Fullerene fragments, referred to as buckybowls, are garnering interest due to their distinctive
molecular shapes and optoelectronic properties. Here, we report the synthesis and …

Stacked teacups inspired the idea that columnar assemblies of stacked bowl-shaped
molecules may exhibit a unique dynamic behavior, unlike usual assemblies of planar disc …

Radical cation salts of π‐conjugated polycycles are rich in physical properties. Herein, two
kinds of hetera‐buckybowls, ethoxy‐substituted trithiasumanene (3SEt) and …

Contorted polycyclic aromatic molecules, such as corannulenes and sumanenes, have been
studied as host molecules for fullerenes due to their complementary geometries. It has been …

Alkylamide (− CONHC n H2 n+ 1)-substituted benzene and its pyrene derivatives have
shown a discotic hexagonal columnar liquid-crystalline phase through a one-dimensional …
