Another bowl, a globally anti-aromatic C70 buckybowl! Both the dication and dianion are aromatic. Paper was just accepted as a Communication in JACS J. Am. Chem. Soc.: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jaā¦
Aza-triangulene and its cation isolated in crystalline form! We have been working on high-spin systems for more than 6 years and finally can obtain a relatively stable one. Paper was just accepted in Angewandte Chemie onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anā¦
A super-cyclooctatetraene (COT)! We revealed the rich dynamics, global aromaticity, and open-shell diradical character of the expanded COT in the neutral and dicationic state. Work was just published in Angewandte Chemie as a VIP paper. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anā¦
A graphyne spoked wheel revealing the fundamental differences between graphyne and graphene! The brave student Zhang Boyi chose this challenging target to start his PhD research and he made it in 1.5 years. Paper was just published in Chem. SunZhe ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/ā¦
Expanded helicenes with up to 35 cata-fused benzene rings synthesized in a nearly one-pot mode! Again, Bi(OTf)3-catalyzed cyclization of vinyl ether works. Another collaborative work with H. Isobe's team just published in Angewandte Chemie: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anā¦
Circumcoronenes were finally synthesized by solution-phase chemistry and isolated in single crystal form! Again, acid-mediated cyclization of vinyl ethers or alkynes works. Paper was just published in Angewandte Chemie as a VIP paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anā¦
![Another figure-eight carbon nanobelt through fusion of two [5]helicene units! A relatively easier synthetic method and high dissymmetric factors.

This piece of work is now officially published in Nature Synthesis. Thank all reviewers for their constructive comments! nature.com/articles/s4416ā¦
Aromaticity in 2D fully conjugated multicyclic macrocycles! We demonstrate nearly "one-pot" synthesis and show how the macrocycles interplay with each other at different redox states. Paper was just published in J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jaā¦
Circumpentacene has been synthesized and exhibits open-shell diradical charater, good stability, and amphoteric redox behavior. Find out more in our new Angewandte Chemie research article onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anā¦ Congrats to Qing, Haipeng and Xudong Hou. NUS Chemistry @ResearchFos
Polycyclic hydrocarbons consisting of two directly fused antiaromatic subunits are rare due to their high reactivity. In our latest paper, fused indacene dimers have been synthesized, and you can find out more in the Angewandte Chemie onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anā¦ā¦ Congrats to Xu Tingting
A core expanded [10]annulene! We observed co-existence of Mƶbius/HĆ¼ckel topology and aromaticity/antiaromaticity in its dication, presumably due to the balance between strain and aromaticity. Paper was just published Angewandte Chemie : onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anā¦
