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 …

Buckybowls have concave and convex surfaces with distinct π-electron cloud distribution,
and consequently they show unique structural and electronic features as compared to …

The reversible formation of σ-bonds between organic radicals has been widely investigated.
However, reports on the formation of σ-dimers from delocalized π-radical cations are scarce …

Buckybowls have unique properties that can be tailored by embedding main‐group
elements into their π‐scaffolds. Herein, a synthetic approach is developed for producing …

Buckybowls, bowl‐shaped polyaromatic hydrocarbons, have received intensive interest
owing to their multifaceted potentials in supramolecular chemistry and materials science …

A detailed understanding and interpretation of chiral properties of molecular systems,
especially in condensed phase, often requires computational models that allow their …

A cinchona alkaloid-based organocatalyst enables asymmetric brominative dearomatization
of 2-naphthols, providing the corresponding bromonaphthalenones with high …

The naphthalene ring is distorted due to steric repulsion between iodo groups at the peri-
positions. Due to the distortion, 1, 8-diiodonaphthalene underwent a halo-Jacobsen …

We report the synthesis and properties of a dinaphthooxepine bisimide (DNOBI), a
nonplanar perylene bisimide (PBI) analogue with an inserted oxygen atom. A DNOBI …

The buckybowl trichalcogenasumanenes show cleavage of flanking benzene ring upon
oxidation, which leads their dissection by fusing various amidine moieties onto peripheral …
