The past decade has witnessed remarkable success in the synthesis of curved polycyclic
aromatics through Scholl reactions which enable oxidative aryl–aryl coupling even in …

Electrochemical clean energy conversion and the production of sustainable chemicals are
critical in the journey to realizing a truly sustainable society. To progress electrochemical …

Conspectus Understanding and harnessing the properties of nanoscale molecular entities
are considered as new frontiers in basic chemistry. In this regard, synthetic nanographene …

Nonuniform Li deposition causes dendrites and low Coulombic efficiency (CE), seriously
hindering the practical applications of Li metal. Herein, we developed an artificial solid-state …

The azulene moiety, composed of contiguous pentagonal and heptagonal rings, is a
structural defect that alters the electronic, magnetic, and structural properties of graphenes …

A bowl‐shaped nitrogen‐doped nanographene composed of a pyrrolo [3, 2‐b] pyrrole core
substituted with six arene rings circularly bonded with one another has been prepared via a …

A saddle-shaped aza-nanographene containing a central 1, 4-dihydropyrrolo [3, 2-b] pyrrole
(DHPP) has been prepared via a rationally designed four-step synthetic pathway …

We herein report the reactivity and regioselectivity of 2-pyrenyl as a coupling unit in Scholl
reactions. On the basis of the Scholl reactions of hexaarylbenzene substrates, we have …

Although heptagons are widely found in graphenic materials, the precise synthesis of
nanocarbons containing heptagons remains a challenge, especially for the nanocarbons …

Finding cost-effective catalysts to drive oxygen reduction/evolution reactions (ORR/OER) is a
highly attractive goal. Most catalysts follow a volcano relationship of performance, making it …
