Structural aspects of fullerene chemistry--A journey through fullerene chirality

Article Abstract:

The different aspects of fullerene chirality and their derivatives that were identified and investigated are presented. A great deal of chiral fullerene derivatives are neither derived from chiral carbon cages nor characterized by stereogenic elements in the added groups, (addends) instead their chirality results from the geometric arrangement of addends, substituting heteroatoms, or even missing carbon atoms (norfullerenes), on the surface of the spheroid.

Tetrathiafulvalence cyclophanes and cage molecules

Article Abstract:

Rigid tetrathiafulvalence (TTF) cyclophanes have contributed to a fundamental understanding of CT interactions involving TTF and different acceptors, such as paraquat, diquat, and PMDI. TTF cyclophanes are also employed for the template-assisted formation of interlocked cyclo-bis (paraquat-p-phenylene) with the formation of catenanes.

Conjugated oligoenynes based on the diethynylethene unit

Article Abstract:

The general synthetic procedure for diethynylethenes (DEEs) and tetraethynylethenes (TEEs), their reactivities, and their chromophoric and redox properties are reviewed. Investigations of DEE-based structures have proved rewarding from both fundamental and technological viewpoints.
