Advances in nanotechnology and nanomaterials have attracted considerable interest and
play key roles in scientific innovations in diverse fields. In particular, increased attention has …

The route by which gas-phase molecules in hydrocarbon flames form condensed-phase
carbonaceous nanoparticles (incipient soot) is reviewed. These products of incomplete …

The creation and development of carbon nanomaterials promoted material science
significantly. Bottom-up synthesis has emerged as an efficient strategy to synthesize …

In this Account we highlight the experimental evidence in favor of our view that carbon
nanotubes should be considered as a new macromolecular form of carbon with unique …

Despite many efforts focused on the emission origin of carbon dots (CDs), it is still a topic of
debate. This is mainly due to the complex structure of these nanomaterials. Here, we …

Shape-persistent, nanosized macrocycles that are composed of only sp-and sp2-hydridized
carbon atoms on their perimeter (conjugated molecular loops and belts) have attracted …

Geodesic polyarenes constitute a rapidly growing family of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs) that resemble the geodesic domes of the great 20th century American architect …

The inaccessibility of uniform-diameter, single-chirality carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in pure
form continues to thwart efforts by scientists to use these ultrathin materials in innovative …

Since the discovery of buckminsterfullerene C60 (Chart 1) by Kroto, Smalley, and Curl, 1-4 a
number of reports concerning new carbon allotropes having a variety of threedimensional …

Isolable quantities of C60, the smallest stable fullerene, have been synthesized in 12 steps
from commercially available starting materials by rational chemical methods. A molecular …
