This Account describes a body of research in the design and synthesis of molecular materials prepared from corannulene. Corannulene (C20H10) is a molecular bowl of carbon that can be visualized as the hydrogen-terminated cap of buckminsterfullerene. Due to this structural resemblance, it is often re...
