Since the prediction of the existence of metallabenzenes in 1979, metallaaromatic chemistry
has developed rapidly, due to its importance in both experimental and theoretical fields …

Conspectus Aromatic compounds are important in synthetic chemistry, biomedicines, and
materials science. As a special type of aromatic complex, transition-metal-based …

Several fully π-conjugated macrocycles with puckered or cage-type structures were recently
found to exhibit aromatic character according to both experiments and computations. We …

Conspectus The construction of metal–carbon bonds is one of the most important issues of
organometallic chemistry. However, the chelation of polydentate ligands to a metal via …

Conspectus Aromaticity, one of the most fundamental concepts in chemistry, has attracted
considerable attention from both theoreticians and experimentalists. Much effort on …

Metallaaromatics can be broadly defined as aromatic compounds in which one of the ring
atoms is a transition metal. The metallabenzenes are one important class of these …

Conspectus The concept of aromaticity is one of the most fundamental principles in
chemistry. It is generally accepted that planarity is a prerequisite for aromaticity, and typically …

As aromaticity is one of the most fundamental concepts in chemistry, the construction of
aromatic systems has long been an important subject. Herein, we report the synthesis and …

Photoelectron spectroscopy combined with quantum chemistry has been a powerful
approach to elucidate the structures and bonding of size-selected boron clusters (B n−) …

The metal-carbon triple bonds and carbon-carbon triple bonds are both highly unsaturated
bonds. As a result, their reactions tend to afford cycloaddition intermediates or products …
