Aromatic hydrocarbon belts (AHCBs) have fascinated scientists for over half a century
because of their aesthetically appealing structures and potential applications in the field of …

Electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS) is one of the most fundamental reactions in organic
chemistry. Using an oriented external electric field (OEEF) instead of traditional reagents to …

Porphyrin contains four inwardly oriented nitrogen atoms. It is arguably the most ubiquitous
multifunctional naturally occurring macrocycle that has inspired the design of novel nitrogen …

It is well established that strain in organic molecules is linked to having nonideal bond
lengths, bond angles and unfavourable non-covalent interactions. The constrained …

The structure-selective precise synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been long sought
in materials science. The aromatic molecules corresponding to segment structures of CNTs …

Chiral shape‐persistent molecular nanocarbons are promising chiroptical materials; their
synthesis, however, remains a big challenge. Herein, we report the facile synthesis and …

Cycloparaphenylenes (CPPs) and carbon nanobelts (CNBs) represent some of the most
iconic cyclic molecular nanocarbons in recent chemistry owing to their unique properties …

Molecular conformation has an important role in chemistry and materials science. Molecular
nanoribbons can adopt chiral twisted helical conformations. However, the synthesis of single …

We present the first helicene carbon nanoohop that integrates a [6] helicene into [7]
cycloparaphenylene. The [6] helicene endows the helicene carbon nanohoop with …

The design and preparation of molecular systems with multiple geometric and electronic
configurations are the cornerstones for multifunctional materials with stimuli-responsive …
