Design, Synthesis, and Applications of Carbon Nanohoops
Abstract
This project detailed the attempts toward the development of a rapid and diversifiable synthetic route to the carbon nanohoop([n]cycloparaphenylene) or carbon nanotube scaffold through the reductive transformation of a strained macrocyclic molecular precursor. These shape-persistent, conjugated structures are proposed to serve as soluble models of, and synthetic precursors to semi-conducting carbon nanotubes. Moreover, these nanosized rings have the long-term potential to intersitially encapsulate analytes of interest, and to form a variety of new electronic polymer architectures.
