The electronic spectrum and optical nonlinearity of the sp-hybridized cyclo [18] carbon with
novel topology are studied by means of (time-dependent) density functional theory …

Carbon allotropes built from rings of two-coordinate atoms, known as cyclo [n] carbons, have
fascinated chemists for many years, but until now they could not be isolated or structurally …

Abstract cyclo [18] carbon is an all-carboatomic ring observed recently in experiment.
Inspired by the distinctive feature in structure and bonding nature, we explored …

In the two decades since the introduction of the “click chemistry” concept, the toolbox of “click
