The planar trigonal structure of 1,3,5-trisubstituted benzene, named phenine, has been adopted as basic units polygonal networks to shape nanometer-sized curved organic π-molecules. phenine design allows for concise syntheses large carbonaceous molecules reaching 4 kDa by stitching geodesic lines with aryl coupling reactions. In this Account, the development defective nanocarbon molecules, i.e....

Front Cover: The development of tannic-acid-based textile materials is a good candidate that enables both flame retardancy and antibacterial properties. In article number 2100455, Jaewoo Kim, Yong Chae Jung, co-workers show when nanocarbon are used together, it possible to not only realize complex functions but also increase physical properties, thereby expanding the potential range application...
