A VID-based strategy for the synthesis of armchair aromatic belts
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Memorial University of Newfoundland, 2010. Chemistry Includes bibliographical references. A molecular belt is considered to be an assembly of atoms that has two continuous, nonintersecting edges and a width that is small in relation to its circumference. Molecular belts having surfac...

Molecular belts having surfaces consisting entirely of a polycyclic aromatic framework are referred to "aromatic belts". -- Aromatic belts have stood as challenging synthetic targets for many years. Several approaches to synthesize aromatic belts have been reported.
