Molecular compounds with permanent tubular architectures displaying radial π-conjugation are exceedingly rare. Their radial and axial delocalization presents them with unique optical and electronic properties, such as remarkable tuning of their Stokes shifts, and redox switching between global and local aromaticity. Although these tubular compounds display large internal void spaces, these attributes have not been extensively explored, thus presenting future opportunities in the development of materials. By using cutting-edge synthetic methodologies to bend aromatic surfaces, large opportunities in synthesis, property discovery, and applications are expected in new members of this family of conjugated molecular nanotubes.
具有呈现径向π共轭的永久性管状结构的分子化合物极为罕见。它们的径向和轴向离域赋予它们独特的光学和电子特性，例如其斯托克斯位移的显著调谐，以及全局和局部芳香性之间的氧化还原转换。尽管这些管状化合物具有较大的内部空隙空间，但这些特性尚未得到广泛探索，因此在材料开发方面存在未来机遇。通过使用前沿的合成方法来弯曲芳香表面，预计在这一共轭分子纳米管家族的新成员中，在合成、性质发现和应用方面将有大量机会。
