Since the discovery of its facile synthesis in 2001, meso-aryl-substituted expanded
porphyrins have been developed as a new class of azaannulenes in light of their facile …

Few concepts are as frequently used as aromaticity in the current chemical literature. 1 This
may be quantified by ca. 300 000 papers dealing with the aromatic properties of chemical …

Since the beginning of scientific chemistry, chemists have been interested in light as an
energy source to induce chemical reactions. 1 Absorbing light, molecules reach an …

An overview of applications of the recently developed gauge including magnetically induced
current method (GIMIC) is presented. The GIMIC method is used to obtain magnetically …

Since the discovery of buckminsterfullerene C60 (Chart 1) by Kroto, Smalley, and Curl, 1-4 a

In 1747, Johann Sebastian Bach wrote a series of canons and fugues on the occasion of his
visit to King Frederick the Great of Prussia in Potsdam. His music of homage, the …

A belt-shaped [8] cycloparaphenylene (CPP) and an enantioenriched Möbius-shaped [10]
CPP have been synthesized by high-yielding rhodium-catalyzed intramolecular …

Evaluating the aromaticity of a molecular system and the influence of this concept on its
properties is a crucial step in the development of novel aromatic systems. Modern …

The Möbius strip is named after the theoretical astronomer and mathematician August
Ferdinand Möbius (1790-1868). In a memoir, presented to the French Academie of …

Aromaticity is a key concept in chemistry, dating back to Faraday's discovery of benzene in
1825 and Kekulé's famous alternating-double-bond structure of 1865. In 1858, the Möbius …
