Buckybowls, bowl‐shaped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons structurally related to
fullerenes, represent a class of hydrocarbons with unique properties and a potential for …

Corannulene, a kind of bowl like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), whose molecule is
composed of a central pentagon and five closely adjacent hexagons on the pentagon's five …

This chapter summarizes the synthesis, physical properties, structure, and crystal packing of
buckybowls. Buckybowls exemplify an intermediate class of polynuclear aromatic …

Flat corannulene has been considered so far only as a transition state of the bowl-to-bowl
inversion process. This study was driven by the prediction that substituents with strong steric …

We demonstrate Ullmann-type reactions as novel and advantageous functionalization of
carbon nanotubes (CNTs) toward tunable surface chemistry. The functionalization routes …

The Cu (I)-catalyzed Ullmann condensation reaction between aliphatic alcohols and sym-
pentachlorocorannulene provides a convenient entry to 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 …

The research field of sp2-hybridized structures has fascinated researches in the fields of
chemistry, physics and material science for a very long time starting in 1825 with Michael …

Diaryl ethers containing condensed polycyclic aryl groups were synthesized from arenols in
the presence of a catalytic amount of p-chlorobenzenesulfonic acid. Symmetrical binaphthyl …

This chapter surveys C (aryl)—O and C (aryl)—S bond‐forming reactions via copper‐
catalyzed couplings of oxygen (water, alcohols, phenols) and sulfur (thiols, thiophenols) …

The electron-rich, concave face of corannulene makes it an ideal candidate to host electron-
deficient fullerenes, such as C60. The host–guest system is dominated by weak van …
