This review summarizes recent advances in the chemistry of curved aromatic molecules. By
focusing on the key accomplishments of the last decade, we provide a general overview of …

In the last 13 years several synthetic strategies were developed that provide access to [n]
cycloparaphenylenes ([n] CPPs) and related conjugated nanohoops. A number of potential …

Carbon nanobelts that consist of a loop of fully fused benzene rings are long-standing and
challenging targets of organic synthesis and are key steps toward the ultimate synthesis of …

Since 1996, a growing number of strained macrocycles, comprising only sp2‐or sp‐
hybridized carbon atoms within the ring, have become synthetically accessible, with the [n] …

The synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of the first member of the carbon nanobelt family is
reported.[12] Carbon nanobelt ([12] CNB) was originally obtained from a nickel-mediated …

The development of carbon nanobelts and related belt‐shaped polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons has gained momentum in recent years. This Minireview focuses on the …

Strain has a unique and sometimes unpredictable impact on the properties and reactivity of
molecules. To thoroughly describe strain in molecules, a computational tool that relates …

Efficient photoinduced electron transfer was observed across a [10] cycloparaphenylene
([10] CPP) moiety that serves as a rigid non‐covalent bridge between a zinc porphyrin and a …

A fully conjugated figure‐of‐eight nanohoop is presented with facile synthesis. The
molecule's lemniscular skeleton features the combination of two strained …

We report the synthesis and characterization of a novel type of nanohoop, consisting of a
cycloparaphenylene derivative incorporating a curved heptagon‐containing π‐extended …
