The delocalization of pi-electrons through extended carbon networks is a key design strategy to modulate the chemical and physical properties of organic molecules and materials. In addition to the extent of delocalization, the overall topology or three-dimensional geometry of the resulting molecule can have a profound impact on the resulting properties. Cycloparaphenylenes, also known as nanohoops, are a particularly illustrative example, where the fully conjugated cyclic structure results in properties that are often times in stark contrast to their linear counter parts. These electronic differences as well as their macrocyclic shape renders them as fascinating candidates for various applications in supramolecular and materials chemistr...
