Synthesis of Small, Chiral, and Photoswitchable Cycloparaphenylenes

Cycloparaphenylenes (CPPs) represent the unit-cycles of conductive armchair carbon nanotubes (CNTs). In addition to their utility for the bottom-up synthesis of CNTs with discrete diameter and chirality, these strained hydrocarbon macrocycles have attractive properties of their own for material scie...
