This chapter summarizes the synthesis, physical properties, structure, and crystal packing of buckybowls. Buckybowls exemplify an intermediate class of polynuclear aromatic compounds between the closed-shell fullerenes and the flat extended arrays of graphene. These warped sheets can be seen as fragments of fullerenes or the end cap of single-walled carbon nanotubes; and, their curvature endows them with physical properties distinct from flat polynuclear hydrocarbons, which opens up unique possibilities for molecular bowls in various organic materials applications.
本章总结了巴基碗的合成、物理性质、结构和晶体堆积。巴基碗是一类介于闭壳富勒烯和石墨烯平面扩展阵列之间的多核芳香化合物。这些弯曲的片层可以看作是富勒烯的片段或单壁碳纳米管的端帽；而且，它们的曲率赋予它们与平面多核烃不同的物理性质，这为分子碗在各种有机材料应用中开辟了独特的可能性。
