The first synthesis of a cyclic oligophenylene possessing a radial π system was reported in
2008. In the short period that has elapsed since, there has been an ever-increasing level of …

Aromatic hydrocarbons are indispensable components of functional organic materials. An
sp2-hybridized carbon atom can form a nonplanar structure through an appropriate …

The structures and strain energies of cycloparaphenylenes (CPPs) have been determined
by DFT calculation at the B3LYP/6-31G (d) level of theory. Fifteen stable conformations of …

The lower charge mobility of organic semiconductors relative to that of inorganic
semiconductors is a thorny problem that still has not been resolved. Here, a new type of …

Molecular cross-scale gridization and polygridization of organic π-backbones make it
possible to install 0/1/2/3-dimensional organic wide-bandgap semiconductors (OWBGSs) …

Size selective synthesis of large cycloparaphenyleneacetylene carbon nanohoops was
achieved using alkyne metathesis. The large nanohoops were stable in ambient conditions …

In order to study the effect of the molecular structure on the optical properties of totally trans-
trans phenylenevinylene oligomers (OPVs), sixteen 1, 4-distyrylbenzene derivatives (1a-i …

The structures and stabilities of 1, 8-anthrylene cyclic oligomers having acetylene or
diacetylene linkers were investigated by DFT calculations with M05 and M06 series …

The thermochemical properties and ring strains in cyclic [n] metaphenyleneacetylenes ([n]
CMPAs), butadiyne-bridged [4 n] metacyclophynes (BB [4 n] MCs), and butadiyne-bridged [4 …

Conformational disorder in π-conjugated cyclic systems plays a crucial role in controlling the
extent of exciton delocalization in much the same way as that in linear counterparts …
