Geodesic polyarene
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A geodesic polyarene in organic chemistry is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with curved convex or concave surfaces [1]. Examples are fullerenes, nanotubes, corannulenes, helicenes and sumanene. The carbon atoms in these systems are to some extent pyramidalized resulting a different pi electron density on either side of the molecule with consequences for reactivity.
