[N]CYCLOPARAPHENYLENES (CCP), [N]MACROCYCLE INTERMEDIATES AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME

摘要

The present invention provides the compound [6]-cycloparaphenylene, cycloparaphenylene intermediates (e.g. [n]macrocycles), and methods for making [n]cycloparaphenylenes and [n]cycloparaphenylene intermediates in quantities not previously available. The cycloparaphenylene compounds and their intermediates can be useful in nanotube preparation and in the preparation of other supramolecular structures.
