The selective fusions
with pyrene derivative to the rim and flank
bonds of corannulene generated 4 and 7,
respectively, which underwent a Scholl reaction to provide novel distorted
PAHs CORA-1 and CORA-2, consisting of corannulene
and dibenzocoronene units with different connections between them.
The studies revealed that the properties of these PAHs are highly
dependent on the fusing positions of corannulene.
The differentiation of chemical species of interest, particularly for those are structurally similar, is still very challenging. Here we report that a corannulene-based cage possessing a character of conformational diversity...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
