Recent Advances in Dimeric Cycloparaphenylenes as Nanotube Fragments

Abstract

Since the discovery of cycloparaphenylenes in 2008, the chemical synthesis of more-complicated molecular systems with curved π-surfaces has been vigorously sought, giving rise to a plethora of new exciting molecules with various topologies and functions. This Synpacts article briefly summarizes recent examples of carbon nanohoop dimers, highlighting three examples as nanotube fragments. Their synthesis, isomerization, photophysical properties, and host–guest chemistry are discussed.

1 Introduction

2 Synthetic Strategy toward Nanotube Dimers

3 Isomerization Dynamics of Nanotube Dimers

4 Photophysical Properties of Nanotube Dimers

5 Host–Guest Chemistry of Nanotube Dimers

6 Conclusions

Key words

carbon nanohoops - nanotube dimers - isomerization - host–guest chemistry
