Abstract
The reactivity of cyclic α-diazo monocarbonyl compounds differs from that of their acyclic counterparts. In this review, we summarize the current literature available on the synthesis and synthetic applications of three major classes of cyclic α-diazo monocarbonyl compounds: α-diazo ketones, α-diazo lactones and α-diazo lactams.

Abstract
The attempted dehydration of macrocyclic α-ketols with the Burgess reagent has resulted in the unexpected synthesis of carbamoylated, bent para-phenylene units. The same reaction with an acyclic analogue affords the intended dehydration product, indicating that the change in reactivity is conformationally controlled and a result of the bifunctional nature of the Burgess reagent.

Abstract
A series of pyrenophanes was designed with the goal of providing kinetic stabilization to the bent pyrene system and, therefore, providing a means to generate more highly bent pyrene systems than ever before. Four members of this series were synthesized, isolated, and characterized. The lowest homologue was calculated to have a pyrene system that is just slightly less bent (θcalc = 106.8°) than the previous record holder for an isolated compound (θexpt = 109.2°). The next smaller member of the series was obtained as a minor component of a mixture with its direct synthetic precursor and a follow-on product after a 60 d reaction. Compelling MS and 1H NMR evidence was obtained for the formation of this compound; the pyrene system of which was calculated be extremely bent (θcalc = 130.4°).

Abstract
The design and construction of non-natural products have fascinated and perplexed organic chemists for years. Their assembly, akin to what has been accomplished for the total synthesis of natural products, has stretched the limits of what can be prepared in the laboratory. Unlike many natural products, however, carbon-rich structures often lack heteroatoms, further complicating their construction. Consider some of the classical molecules in this genre: cubane and dodecahedrane. While highly symmetric, their assembly is far from trivial. These fascinating hydrocarbon targets have fueled the development of carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions, as new methods are needed to access these types of compounds. Among these carbon-rich structures, polycyclic aromatics such as helicenes, fullerenes, and some fullerenes share common ground due to the distortion of one or more aromatic rings out of planarity. Recently added to this group are the [n]cycloparaphenylenes ([n]CPPs), "carbon nanohoops". Here, a linear string of benzene rings connected at the para positions is wrapped back upon itself to form a cyclic structure. Clearly a simple linear p-oligophenylene cannot be cyclized in this manner without extremely harsh reaction conditions. In order to access these structures using solution-phase organic chemistry, clever synthetic strategies that can compensate for this severe distortion are required. Although cycloparaphenylenes can be considered the smallest possible fragment of an armchair carbon nanotube (CNT), they were envisioned as synthetic targets long before CNTs were discovered in 1991. CPP synthesis was first attempted in 1934, almost 70 years before Iijima's first report on CNTs. The long-forgotten targets reemerged in 1993 with a report from Vögtle, though he ultimately was unsuccessful in achieving their synthesis. More than a decade later, in 2008, CPPs succumbed to total synthesis by Jasti and Bertozzi, allowing access to three different-sized carbon nanohoops in milligram quantities. Since then, the Jasti group has embraced the smallest CPPs as inspiring synthetic targets, challenging us to develop new methodology to construct increasingly strained macrocycles. Having recently synthesized [5]-, [6]- and [7]CPP, the three smallest nanohoops synthesized to date, we have been able to realize a variety of new physical phenomena unique to these structures. Perhaps most significantly, unlike linear p-phenylenes and inorganic quantum dots, the HOMO-LUMO gaps of the CPPs narrow with decreasing CPP size. The smallest CPPs discussed in this Account illustrate this feature exceptionally well, as their HOMO-LUMO gaps become narrower than those of even the longest p-polyphenylenes. The smaller CPPs are fascinating from a structural standpoint as well because of the high amount of distortion in each benzene ring. From the synthesis of [7]CPP (84 kcal/mol of strain energy) to that of [5]CPP (119 kcal/mol of strain energy), our laboratory has been able to test the boundaries of synthetic and physical organic chemistry. In this Account, we detail how these challenging macrocycles were synthesized and the unique properties these structures possess.

Abstract
An o-carborane-based anthracene was synthesized, and single crystals, with incorporated solvent molecules, were obtained from the CHCl3 , CH2 Cl2 , and C6 H6 solutions. The anthracene ring in the crystal is highly distorted by the formation of a π-stacked dimer between the anthracene units. The crystals exhibited a variety of emission behaviors such as aggregation-induced emission (AIE), crystallization-induced emission (CIE), aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ), and multichromism.
