This review surveys recent progress in the chemistry of polycyclic heteroaromatic molecules
with a focus on structural diversity and synthetic methodology. The article covers literature …

Conspectus This Account describes a body of research in the design and synthesis of
molecular materials prepared from corannulene. Corannulene (C20H10) is a molecular …

This feature article focuses on the bottom-up approaches (solution-phase) based on organic
synthesis for the preparation of saddle-shaped distorted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons …

A versatile π‐extension reaction was developed based on the three‐component cross‐
coupling of aryl halides, 2‐haloarylcarboxylic acids, and norbornadiene. The transformation …

Abstract Corannulene (C20H10) is a polycyclic hydrocarbon in which five six-membered
rings surround a central five-membered ring to construct a bowl-like aromatic structure. Here …

Rh-catalyzed C–H activation of phenacyl phosphoniums in coupling with α-diazocarbonyl
compounds has been realized with the assistance of a mutifunctional phosphonium ylidic …

Abstract Herein, corannulene‐based quintuple [6] helicenes (Q [6] H‐1 and Q [6] H‐2) and
[7] helicene (Q [7] H) were synthesized via penta‐fold Heck and Mallory reaction. Notably, Q …

A laterally π-extended dithia [6] helicene 1, representing an interesting saddle-helix hybrid
molecule containing an unusual heptagon, has been synthesized by MoCl5-mediated …

A boat-shaped compound, which can be viewed as the fusion of two concave molecules
with crossed quinacridone and indolocarbazole throughout, was synthesized and …

Halogen lamp irradiation of benzo [e][1, 2, 4] triazines 2 [X] in CH2Cl2 solutions leads to
planar ring-fused 1, 4-dihydro [1, 2, 4] triazin-4-yl radicals 1 through a novel, potentially …
