This research aims to create curved conjugated molecules that can adapt their shape to host fullerenes effectively.
Synthesize carbazole-embedded cycloparaphenylenes using Suzuki coupling and regioselective bromination.
Construct trimacrocyclic and pentamacrocyclic systems through multi-component couplings.
Conduct structural and supramolecular analyses of the synthesized compounds.
TMC forms 1:1 complexes with C60 and C70, enabling distinct host–guest interactions.
PMC showcases 2:1 complexes with C60 or C70, exhibiting different binding characteristics.
Structural data suggests recognition is based on the shape of the cavity rather than electronic properties.
