Abstract
Perovskite solar cell (PSC) shows a great potential to become the next-generation photovoltaic technology, which has stimulated researchers to engineer materials and to innovate device architectures for promoting device performance and stability. As the power conversion efficiency (PCE) keeps advancing, the importance of exploring multifunctional materials for the PSCs has been increasingly recognized. Considerable attention has been directed to the design and synthesis of novel organic π-conjugated molecules, particularly the emerging curved ones, which can perform various unmatched functions for PSCs. In this review, the characteristics of three representative such curved π-conjugated molecules (fullerene, corannulene and helicene) and the recent progress concerning the application of these molecules in state-of-the-art PSCs are summarized and discussed holistically. With this discussion, we hope to provide a fresh perspective on the structure-property relation of these unique materials toward high-performance and high-stability PSCs.

Abstract
Here we report the synthesis of a novel buckybowl (7) with a high bowl-to-bowl inversion barrier (ΔG‡ = 38 kcal mol-1), which renders the rate of inversion slow enough at room temperature to establish two chiral polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). By strategic fusion of eight-membered rings to the rim of 7, the chiral hybrids 8 and 9 are synthesized and display helicity and positive and negative curvature, allowing the enantiomers to be configurationally stable and their chiroptical properties are thoroughly examined. Computational and experimental studies reveal the enantiomerization mechanisms for the chiral hybrids and demonstrate that the eight-membered ring strongly affects the conformational stability. Because of its static and doubly curved conformation, 9 shows a high binding affinity towards C60. The OFET performance of 7-9 could be tuned and the hybrids show ambipolar characteristics. Notably, the 9·C60 cocrystal exhibits well-balanced ambipolar performance with electron and hole mobilities of up to 0.19 and 0.11 cm2 V-1 s-1, respectively. This is the first demonstration of a chiral curved PAH and its complex with C60 for organic devices. Our work presents new insight into buckybowl-based design of PAHs with configurational stability and intriguing optoelectronic properties.

Abstract
Pristine fullerene C60 is an excellent electron transport material for state-of-the-art inverted structure perovskite solar cells (PSCs), but its low solubility leaves thermal evaporation as the only method for depositing it into a high-quality electron transport layer (ETL). To address this problem, we herein introduce a highly soluble bowl-shaped additive, corannulene, to assist in C60 -assembly into a smooth and compact film through the favorable bowl-ball interaction. Our results show that not only corannulene can dramatically enhance the film formability of C60 , it also plays a critical role in forming C60 -corannulene (CC) supramolecular species and in boosting intermolecular electron transport dynamics in the ETL. This strategy has allowed CC devices to deliver high power conversion efficiencies up to 21.69 %, which is the highest value among the PSCs based on the solution-processed-C60 (SP-C60 ) ETL. Moreover, the stability of the CC device is far superior to that of the C60 -only device because corannulene can retard and curb the spontaneous aggregation of C60 . This work establishes the bowl-assisted ball assembly strategy for developing low-cost and efficient SP-C60 ETLs with high promise for fully-SP PSCs.

Abstract
While the strong interaction between the internal unit and the fullerene cage inside metallofullerenes is widely acknowledged, how the cage transformation interacts with the cluster configuration remains elusive. For this purpose, we herein synthesized three metallofullerene molecules with an easy-to-compare cluster configuration and cage arrangement, namely Lu3N@Cs(17 490)-C76, Lu3N@C2(22 010)-C78, and Lu3N@D3h(5)-C78. The three lutetium-based nitride clusterfullerenes (NCFs) with small C76-78 carbon cages were synthesized by a modified arc-discharge method and their structures were unambiguously confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Notably, the cage transformation from Cs(17 490)-C76 to C2(22 010)-C78via a simple C2-unit insertion leads to a remarkable configuration change of the encapsulated Lu3N cluster from an unusual asymmetric plane to a common symmetric one. This close correlation between the cluster configuration and cage transformation is further confirmed by the pyramidal Lu3N cluster in Lu3N@D3h(5)-C78 other than the symmetric planar Lu3N unit in Lu3N@C2(22 010)-C78, as a result of an even larger difference in the cage arrangement. Astonishingly, such a cluster shrinkage, accompanied by an increase in the cage size from Cs(17 490)-C76 to D3h(5)-C78, is dramatically opposite to the cluster expansion with cage elongation found in La2C2- or Y2C2-based metallofullerenes.

Abstract
The reaction of sym-pentakis(4-aminothiophenyl)corannulene with 2-formyl-6-methylpyridine and CuI or 2-formyl-1,10-phenanthroline and MII (M = Co, Zn) yields an S10-symmetric 5-fold interlocked [2]catenane of two interpenetrating [CuI5L2]5+ cages or D5-symmetric [MII5L2]10+ cages, respectively. The new structures were characterized by X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Density functional theory computations point to dispersive energies on par with traditional covalent bond energies. Subcomponent exchange reactions favored formation of the [CoII5L2]10+ cage over the [CuI10L4]10+ catenane. The single cage and catenane each cocrystallized with a corannulene guest to form a bowl-in-bowl substructure.

Abstract
An octapodal corannulene-based supramolecular system has been prepared by introducing eight corannulene moieties in a porphyrin scaffold. Despite the potential of this double picket fence porphyrin for double-tweezer behavior, NMR titrations show exclusive formation of 1:1 adducts. The system exhibits very strong affinity for C60 and C70 (K1 = (2.71 ± 0.08) × 104 and (2.13 ± 0.1) × 105 M-1, respectively), presenting selectivity for the latter. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that, in addition to the four corannulene units, the relatively flexible porphyrin tether actively participates in the recognition process, resulting in a strong synergistic effect. This leads to a very strong interaction with C60, which in turn also induces a large structural change on the other face (second potential binding site), leading to a negative allosteric effect. We also introduced Zn2+ in the porphyrin core in an attempt to modulate its flexibility. The resulting metalloporphyrin also displayed single-tweezer behavior, albeit with slightly smaller binding constants for C60 and C70, suggesting that the effect of the coordination of fullerene to one face of our supramolecular platform was still transmitted to the other face, leading to the deactivation of the second potential binding site.

Abstract
The self-assembly of a bowl-shaped naphthalimide-annulated corannulene of high solubility has been studied in a variety of solvents by NMR and UV/Vis spectroscopy. Evaluation by the anti-cooperative K2-K model revealed the formation of supramolecular dimers of outstanding thermodynamic stability. Further structural proof for the almost exclusive formation of dimers over extended aggregates is demonstrated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and diffusion ordered spectroscopy (DOSY) measurements as well as by theoretical calculations. Thus, herein we present the first report of a supramolecular dimer of an annulated corannulene derivative in solution and discuss its extraordinarily high thermodynamic stability with association constants up to >106 M-1 in methylcyclohexane, which is comparable to the association constants given for planar phthalocyanine and perylene bisimide dyes.

Abstract
For endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs), that is, fullerenes encapsulating metallic species, cage size is known to be an important factor for cluster configuration adoption; however, the impact of the cage shape on the cluster geometry fitting remains poorly understood. Herein, for the first time, four dierbium-carbide EMFs with C90 cages, namely, Er2C2@C2(43)-C90, Er2C2@C2(40)-C90, Er2C2@C2(44)-C90, and Er2C2@C1(21)-C90, were successfully synthesized and fully characterized using a combination of mass spectrometry, single-crystal X-ray diffractometry, vis-NIR, Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopies, and cyclic voltammetry. In particular, the fullerene cages of C2(43)-C90 and C2(44)-C90 are crystallographically identified for the first time. Interestingly, the ErEr distance of the major sites in Er2C2@C2(43)-C90, Er2C2@C2(40)-C90, Er2C2@C2(44)-C90, and Er2C2@C1(21)-C90 is 3.927, 4.058, 4.172, and 4.651 Å, respectively, which increases gradually with an increase in the major axis of the cage. Moreover, the bond length of the inner C2-unit decreases progressively with an increase in the ErEr distance, indicating that the inserted C2-unit can serve as a molecular spring to support the strong metal-cage interactions within cages with the same size but different shapes. Hence, the role of cage shape on the cluster configuration is unveiled safely for the as-obtained Er2C2@C90 isomers.

Abstract
Stimuli responsive hosts for C60 can control its binding and release on demand. A photoswitchable TPE based supramolecular host can encapsulate C60 in the Z-form with a markedly different visual change in the colour. In addition, the Z-1 bound C60 has been characterized by various spectroscopic methods and mass spectrometry. Upon exposure to visible light (>490 nm), the host switches to the E-form where the structural complementarity with the guest is destroyed as a result of which the C60 is disassembled from the host. The results described herein reveals an actionable roadmap to pursue further advances in component self-assembly particularly light-induced association and dissociation of a guest molecule.

Abstract
Carbon nanomaterials have been at the forefront of nanotechnology since its inception. At the heart of this research are the curved carbon nanomaterial families: fullerenes and carbon nanotubes. While both have incredible properties that have been capitalized upon in a wide variety of applications, there is an aspect that is not commonly exploited by nanoscientists and organic chemists alike: the interaction of curved carbon nanomaterials with curved organic small molecules. By taking advantage of these interactions, new avenues are opened for the use of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes.

Abstract
The assembly of spherical fullerenes, or buckyballs, into single crystals for crystallographic identification often suffers from disordered arrangement. Here we show a chiral configuration of decapyrrylcorannulene that has a concave 'palm' of corannulene and ten flexible electron-rich pyrryl group 'fingers' to mimic the smart molecular 'hands' for self-adaptably cradling various buckyballs in a (+)hand-ball-hand(-) mode. As exemplified by crystallographic identification of 15 buckyball structures representing pristine, exohedral, endohedral, dimeric and hetero-derivatization, the pyrryl groups twist with varying dihedral angles to adjust the interaction between decapyrrylcorannulene and fullerene. The self-adaptable electron-rich pyrryl groups, susceptible to methylation, are theoretically revealed to contribute more than the bowl-shaped palm of the corannulene in holding buckyball structures. The generality of the present decapyrrylcorannulene host with flexible pyrryl groups facilitates the visualization of numerous unknown/unsolved fullerenes by crystallography and the assembly of the otherwise close-packed spherical fullerenes into two-dimensional layered structures by intercalation.

Abstract
The construction of fullerene (C60 ) hierarchical nanostructures with the help of amphiphilic molecules remains a challenging task in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Utilizing the host-guest complex concept, sub-10 nm layered superstructures are constructed from a monofunctionalized C60 dendron (C60 D, guest) and tweezer-like pyrene dendron (PD, host). Since C60 D and PD are asymmetric shape amphiphiles having liquid crystal (LC) dendrons, both C60 D and PD construct head-to-head bilayer superstructures by themselves. From fluorescence titration experiments, it is realized that the host-guest complex shows 1:1 stoichiometric binding with a binding constant (Ksv = 2.45 × 105 m-1 ). Based on the morphological observations and scattering analyses, it is found that buckle-like asymmetric building blocks (C60 D·PD) are self-assembled by the host-guest complex and construct multilayer hybrid nanostructures. The hierarchical hybrid nanostructures consist of the self-assembled C60 D·PD bilayer with a 2D C60 ·P nanoarray sandwiched between LC dendrons. This advanced strategy is expected to be a practicable and rational guideline for the fabrication of programmed hierarchical hybrid nanostructures.

Abstract
A "Janus" type of hexa- cata-hexabenzocoronene with three triptyceno subunits fused symmetrically on the periphery of coronene has been synthesized using a covalent self-assembly strategy. The triptyceno subunits form a nanosized nest on one side of the aromatic plane with space-matching fullerenes such as C60 and C70 to afford shape-complementary supramolecular complexes. The formation of the complexes in solution was confirmed by 1H NMR and fluorescence titration. Four complexes with C60 or C70 were obtained and studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In the crystal structure, the host shows a proper tunability to adjust its conformation in accordance with the shape of the guest. The different stoichiometric ratios and various stacking patterns of the complexes suggest the diversity of this nonplanar polyaromatic host in complexation with fullerenes.

Abstract
Buckybowls have risen as appealing fullerene fragment derivatives. Their intrinsic curvature has been exploited in the generation of host-guest supramolecular assemblies, not only through concave-convex complementarity but also through less-known concave-concave staggered arrangements. Whereas the stabilization of bowl-in-bowl dispositions has been ascribed to efficient π-π forces together with favorable dipole-dipole interactions, a detailed analysis on the forces guiding the formation of the staggered arrangements is missing so far. Herein, we present a thorough theoretical characterization of bowl-in-bowl vs staggered hemifullerene-based homodimers and heterodimers with the electron-donor truxTTF molecule, as test cases, under the density functional theory and by means of chemical bonding techniques. Our results clearly reveal strong and localized noncovalent signatures, together with an enhanced orbital interaction, associated with CH-π and sulfur-mediated interactions governing the staggered formation. Bending the fullerene fragment is demonstrated to favor the stabilization in both homo- and heterodimers, in good accord with the depletion in the π-electron density calculated upon increasing the buckybowl curvature. The optimal buckybowl curvature for the highest interaction energy is, however, dependent on the type of supramolecular assembly (bowl-in-bowl vs staggered) and the concave region to which hemifullerene approaches truxTTF. Interestingly, two regimes are found as a function of buckybowl curvature for hemifullerene homodimers: bowl-in-bowl dispositions are calculated more stable at low curvatures whereas staggered dimers prevail for highly curved buckybowls. Our results highlight the potential of discrete CH-π and sulfur-mediated interactions to generate unconventional staggered supramolecular arrangements toward the development of a new and unexplored host-guest chemistry.

Abstract
A directly connected azabuckybowl dimer forms a 1 : 1 complex with C60 in a diluted solution, while 1D chain supramolecular assemblies are obtained upon increasing the concentration.
A directly connected azabuckybowl dimer was synthesized via a palladium-catalysed C–H/C–Br coupling. The electron-donating nature of the pyrrolic nitrogen atoms of the azabuckybowl enabled a strong complexation with pristine C60. In the presence of two equivalents of C60, the azabuckybowl dimer formed crystals with a 1 : 2 stoichiometry. Conversely, in diluted solution, complexes with a 1 : 1 stoichiometry of the dimer and C60 were detected predominantly, and these precipitated upon increasing the concentration of C60. Scanning electron microscopy images of the precipitate showed fibre-like aggregates, indicating the formation of supramolecular assemblies with 1D chain structures. A variable-temperature 1H NMR analysis revealed that the precipitate consists of the dimer and C60 in a 1 : 1 ratio.

Hexathioalkyl sumanenes: an electron-donating buckybowl as a building block for supramolecular materials. Chem Sci 2017; 8:8405-8410. [PMID: 29619187 PMCID: PMC5863616 DOI: 10.1039/c7sc03860g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2017] [Accepted: 10/18/2017] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
The synthesis and assembly behavior of hexathioalkyl sumanenes, having a different feature of surface electrostatic potential from non-substituted sumanene, are described.
Unlike planar aromatic compounds, bowl-shaped sumanene, which has concave and convex faces with different electrostatic potentials, tends to form a one-dimensional columnar assembly without causing slip-stacking in the crystal. Here we report the first successful synthesis of liquid-crystalline (LC) sumanenes, which was brought about by the incorporation of six thioalkyl groups (R = SC6H13 or SC12H25) into the aromatic part of sumanene. In contrast to the case of the mesophase formation of corannulene, which requires the presence of many dendritic side chains, sumanene derivatives with simple alkyl chains can exhibit a remarkably high-order columnar LC mesophase over a wide temperature range. While non-substituted sumanene inherently behaves as an electron acceptor, hexathioalkyl versions, such as hexathiomethyl sumanene, show electron-donating properties, resulting in complexation with C60. Considering its unique shape, electronic properties, and self-assembly behavior, the electron-donating sumanene may represent a new building block for constructing supramolecular materials, both by itself and in combination with fullerene derivatives.

Abstract
In this study, 1D nanocrystals composed of C60 and corannulene were synthesized efficiently through cocrystallization by a solution process. These 1D nanocrystals display high electron transport characteristics of up to 0.11 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) and good photoresponse of 0.09 A W(-1), indicating their potential applications in optoelectronics. The results suggest that co-crystal engineering provides a novel strategy for the rational design of new carbon-based crystalline nanomaterials.

Abstract
β,β-(1,4-Dithiino)subporphyrin dimers 7-syn and 7-anti were synthesized by the nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction of 2-bromo-3-(4-methoxyphenylsulfonyl)subporphyrin 4 with 2,3-dimercaptosubporphyrin 5 under basic conditions followed by axial arylation. Additions of C60 or C70 to a dilute solution of 7-anti (ca. 10(-6) m) in toluene did not cause appreciable UV/Vis spectral changes, while similar additions to a concentrated solution (ca. 10(-3) m) resulted in precipitation of complexes. In contrast, dimer 7-syn captured C60 and C70 in different complexation stoichiometries in toluene; a 1:1 manner and a 2:1 manner, respectively, with large association constants; Ka =(1.9±0.2)×10(6) m(-1) for C60 @7-syn, and K1 =(1.6±0.5)×10(6) and K2 =(1.8±0.9)×10(5) m(-1) for C70 @(7-syn)2 . These association constants are the largest for fullerenes-capture by bowl-shaped molecules reported so far. The structures of C60 @7-anti, C70 @7-anti, C60 @7-syn, and C70 @7-syn have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

Abstract
Curved π-conjugated molecules have attracted considerable interest because of the unique properties originating from their curved π surface. However, the synthesis of such distorted molecules requires harsh conditions, which hamper easy access to heteroatom-containing curved π systems. Here we report the synthesis of a π-extended azacorannulene with nitrogen in its centre. The oxidation of 9-aminophenanthrene provides tetrabenzocarbazole, which is converted to the azabuckybowl through palladium-catalysed intramolecular coupling. The electron-donating nature and curved π surface of the azabuckybowl enable its tight association with C60 in solution and solid states. High charge mobility is observed for the azabuckybowl/C60 assembly. This compound may be of interest in the fields of curved π systems as fullerene hosts, anisotropic π donors and precursors to nitrogen-containing nanocarbon materials. Curved π-conjugated molecules have potentially interesting chemical and electronic properties but the harsh conditions required for their synthesis can make it difficult to incorporate heteroatoms. Here, the authors prepare a π-extended azacorannulene with nitrogen in its centre.

Abstract
A detailed structural overview of a family of bowl-shaped polycyclic aromatic carbocations of the type [C20 H10 R](+) with different R functionalities tethered to the interior surface of corannulene (C20 H10 ) is provided. Changing the identity of the surface-bound groups through alkyl chains spanning from one to four carbon atoms and incorporating a different degree of halogenation has led to the fine tuning of the bowl structures and properties. The deformation of the corannulene core upon functionalization has been revealed based on X-ray crystallographic analysis and compared for the series of cations with R=CH3 , CH2 Cl, CHCl2 , CCl3 , CH2 CH3 , CH2 CH2 Cl, and CH2 CH2 Br. The resulting carbocations have been isolated with several metal-based counterions, varying in size and coordinating abilities ([AlCl4 ](-) , [AlBr4 ](-) , [(SnCl)(GaCl4 )2 ](-) , and [Al(OC(CF3 )3 )4 ](-) ). A variety of aggregation patterns in the solid state has been revealed based on different intermolecular interactions ranging from cation-anion to π-π stacking and to halogen⋅⋅⋅π interactions. For the [C20 H10 CH2 Cl](+) ion crystallized with several different counterions, the conformation of the R group attached to the central five-membered ring of corannulene moiety was found to depend on the solid-state environment defined by the identity of anions. Solution NMR and UV/Vis investigations have been used to complement the X-ray diffraction studies for this series of corannulene-based cations and to demonstrate their different association patterns with the solvent molecules.

Abstract
The design and synthesis of extended concave host P2 by fusion of two concave phosphorus-containing units is reported. Co-crystallization of P2 and the fullerene guests C60 and C70 afforded the 2 : 1 host-guest complexes (P2)2 ⊃ C60 and (P2)2 ⊃ C70, in which the two concave surfaces of P2 encapsulate the convex surface of the fullerenes in a sandwich fashion. Interestingly, the orientation of the two P2 molecules with respect to each other was observed to be flexible, resulting in the formation of a variety of cavity shapes. MALDI-TOF mass, NMR, and UV-vis absorption spectra supported the formation of host-guest complexes between P2 and the fullerenes in solution.

Abstract
A C3-symmetric chiral concave molecule having a phosphorus atom at the center was synthesized, and its enantiomers were resolved. The chiral concave shape and absolute structure of the concave molecules were revealed by X-ray analysis. The concave molecule exhibited intense chiroptical properties with a large anisotropy, which was derived from molecular orbitals delocalized to the side chains. In the co-crystal with pristine C60, four of the enantiopure concave molecules perfectly wrapped the surface of C60. MALDI-TOF mass, NMR, and circular dichromism spectra also supported the concave/convex interaction between the concave molecule and fullerene. These results suggest that the phosphorus-containing molecule with a concave shape plays an important role as a chiral host molecule for C60.

Abstract
The C3 -symmetric propeller-chiral compounds (P,P,P)-1 and (M,M,M)-1 with planar π-cores perpendicular to the C3 -axis were synthesized in optically pure states. (P,P,P)-1 possesses two distinguishable propeller-chiral π-faces with rims of different heights named the (P/L)-face and (P/H)-face. Each face is configurationally stable because of the rigid structure of the helicenes contained in the π-core. (P,P,P)-1 formed dimeric aggregates in organic solutions as indicated by the results of (1) H NMR, CD, and UV/Vis spectroscopy and vapor pressure osmometry analyses. The (P/L)/(P/L) interactions were observed in the solid state by single-crystal X-ray analysis, and they were also predominant over the (P/H)/(P/H) and (P/L)/(P/H) interactions in solution, as indicated by the results of (1) H and 2D NMR spectroscopy analyses. The dimerization constant was obtained for a racemic mixture, which showed that the heterochiral (P,P,P)-1/(M,M,M)-1 interactions were much weaker than the homochiral (P,P,P)-1/(P,P,P)-1 interactions. The results indicated that the propeller-chiral (P/L)-face interacts with the (P/L)-face more strongly than with the (P/H)-face, (M/L)-face, and (M/H)-face. The study showed the π-face-selective aggregation and π-face chiral recognition of the configurationally stable propeller-chiral molecules.
