“…Interestingly, π-curved conjugated fragment 1 (bowl depth = 0.87 Å) preferentially coordinates with various metal ions in the convex surface in the η 1 , η 2 , and η 6 modes [23,31,32,39,[103][104][105][106]. Some corannulene derivatives form concave as well as convex face η 6 -coordination complexes with ruthenium(II) [31,39,104]. Similarly, another C 3v symmetric, Symmetry 2017, 9, 174 15 of 25 curved π-conjugated bowl, 2, forms coordination complexes through the η 1 , η 2 , η 4 , η 5 , and η 6 modes with limited transition metal ions [107].…”
