A hybrid of corannulene and azacorannulene : synthesis of a highly curved nitrogen‐containing buckybowl
A highly curved nitrogen‐containing buckybowl, which can be considered as a corannulene/azacorannulene hybrid, was synthesized and characterized. This molecule has a polycyclic aromatic C40N core, corresponding to a partial azafullerene structure C80−xNx (x=1,2,3…), and exhibits interesting properti...

| Summary: | A highly curved nitrogen‐containing buckybowl, which can be considered as a corannulene/azacorannulene hybrid, was synthesized and characterized. This molecule has a polycyclic aromatic C40N core, corresponding to a partial azafullerene structure C80−xNx (x=1,2,3…), and exhibits interesting properties that arise from its large and highly curved π surface and the embedded nitrogen atom, which include association with C60, a lower LUMO level relative to azapentabenzocorannulene, and the formation of a radical cationic species upon oxidation. |
