Abstract

Bowl-shaped π-conjugated compounds are important not only as model compounds of fullerenes but also as possible synthetic intermediates for artificially designed fullerene derivatives, such as hetero-fullerenes ([ 1 ][1]). Most of the attention has been focused on the compounds derived from C 5v
