Chromium-Centered Cycloparaphenylene Rings as New Tools for Making Functionalized Nanocarbons

Abstract:

Professor Kenichiro Itami, Yasutomo Segawa and Natsumi Kubota of Nagoya University have synthesized novel transition metal-complexed cycloparaphenylenes (CPPs) that enable selective monofunctionalization of CPPs for the first time, opening doors to the construction of unprecedented nanocarbons.
