All-carbon materials based on sp 2-hybridized atoms, such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes
and graphene, have been much explored due to their remarkable physicochemical …

Herein, the electronic structure and bonding character of the stable cyclo [18] carbon (C18)
precursor, C18Br6, are thoroughly characterized by molecular orbital (MO), density of states …

The bonding character, electron delocalization, and aromaticity of the cyclo [18] carbon
(C18) precursors, C18‐(CO) n (n= 6, 4, and 2), have been studied by combining quantum …

Inspired by recent experimental observation of molecular morphology and theoretical
predictions of multiple properties of cyclo [18] carbon, we systematically studied the …

Recent atomic manipulation by an AFM tip created the first sp-hybridized carbon material–
cyclo [18] carbon. Herein, we revealed the unique mechanical properties of cyclo [18] …

The recently synthesized cyclo [18] carbon molecule has been characterized in a number of
studies by calculating electronic, spectroscopic, and mechanical properties. However, cyclo …

The cyclocarbons constitute a family of molecular carbon allotropes consisting of rings of two-
coordinate atoms. Their high reactivities make them difficult to study, but there has been …

Cyclo [n] carbons (n= 5, 7, 9,..., 29) composed from an odd number of carbon atoms are
studied computationally at density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio complete active …

Although cyclo [18] carbon has been isolated experimentally from two precursors, C18Br6
and C18 (CO) 6, no reaction mechanisms have yet been explored. Herein, we provide …

We calculate the relative energy between the cumulene and polyyne structures of a set of
C4k+ 2 (k= 4–7) rings (C18, C22, C26, and C30 prompted by the recent synthesis of the …
