Size-Selective Supramolecular Chemistry in a Hydrocarbon Nanoring.
The research described in this product was performed in part in the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, a national scientific user facility sponsored by the Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research and located at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Supramolecular chemistry has been a very active area since the seminal work of Lehn.1-4 Macrocycles are versatile building blocks for supramolecular design. Conjugated macrocycles with a beltlike shape in which the conjugated orbitals are hybridized orbitals directed radially5-7 (as compared to pure p-orbitals normal to a plane in polyacenes and polyaphenes) provide especially intriguing opportunities for such design; carbon nanotubes8 and hydrocarbon nanorings6,9-15 are exemplary cases.
