Abstract
The curvature of aromatic systems strengthens the interaction by the concave face while it weakens by the convex one. Parallel structures are favoured over halogen bonded ones.

Abstract
The ability of the carbon nanoring [11]cycloparaphenylene ([11]CPP) for coordinating fullerenes has been tested using a series of hosts, including the pristine fullerenes C60, C70, C76 and C78, the clusterfullerene Sc3N@C80, monometallic endofullerenes Y@C82 and Tm@C82, and dimetallic endofullerenes Y2@C82 and Lu2@C82. A systematic theoretical study employing dispersion corrected density functional methods has been carried out in order to explore the characteristics of the complexes and the strength of the interaction. Depending on the dimer, complexation energies span from around -36 kcal mol-1 with C60 to -53 kcal mol-1 with the C82 derivatives. Dispersion is the main stabilizing contribution in these dimers, so the molecules arrange to maximize the number of close interatomic contacts. Since most fullerenes can properly fill the cavity of the nanoring the stability of the complexes is pretty similar, with the exception of the smallest fullerenes. The complexes with endohedral fullerenes show similar stabilities in all cases studied, with no noticeable dependence on the nature of the endohedral species. The results obtained suggest that fullerenes larger than C76 could be selectively encapsulated by [11]CPP compared to smaller fullerenes.

Abstract
The characteristics of the concave-convex π-π interactions are evaluated in 32 buckybowl dimers formed by corannulene, sumanene, and two substituted sumanenes (with S and CO groups), using symmetry-adapted perturbation theory [SAPT(DFT)] and density functional theory (DFT). According to our results, the main stabilizing contribution is dispersion, followed by electrostatics. Regarding the ability of DFT methods to reproduce the results obtained with the most expensive and rigorous methods, TPSS-D seems to be the best option overall, although its results slightly tend to underestimate the interaction energies and to overestimate the equilibrium distances. The other two tested DFT-D methods, B97-D2 and B3LYP-D, supply rather reasonable results as well. M06-2X, although it is a good option from a geometrical point of view, leads to too weak interactions, with differences with respect to the reference values amounting to about 4 kcal/mol (25% of the total interaction energy). © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Intramolecular stacking is very strong in dimeric porphyrins. However, in solution they are able to inhibit folding and can trap fullerenes with very high association constants. Diabatic interaction energies can be a useful approach to evaluate the strength of porphyrin/fullerene supramolecular complexes.

Abstract
Corannulene, a kind of bowl like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), whose molecule is composed of a central pentagon and five closely adjacent hexagons on the pentagon's five sides, has received great scientific interest among research groups. In this review, the syntheses, characteristic molecule structure and properties of corannulene are clarified, as well as its derivatives with different substituted groups, fused derivatives, metal complex, and derivatives for host guest chemistry. On the basis of reviewing the applications and properties of corannulene together with its derivatives, the potential applications in hydrogen storage and lithium storage were highlighted and prospected.

Abstract
A detailed structural overview of a family of bowl-shaped polycyclic aromatic carbocations of the type [C20 H10 R](+) with different R functionalities tethered to the interior surface of corannulene (C20 H10 ) is provided. Changing the identity of the surface-bound groups through alkyl chains spanning from one to four carbon atoms and incorporating a different degree of halogenation has led to the fine tuning of the bowl structures and properties. The deformation of the corannulene core upon functionalization has been revealed based on X-ray crystallographic analysis and compared for the series of cations with R=CH3 , CH2 Cl, CHCl2 , CCl3 , CH2 CH3 , CH2 CH2 Cl, and CH2 CH2 Br. The resulting carbocations have been isolated with several metal-based counterions, varying in size and coordinating abilities ([AlCl4 ](-) , [AlBr4 ](-) , [(SnCl)(GaCl4 )2 ](-) , and [Al(OC(CF3 )3 )4 ](-) ). A variety of aggregation patterns in the solid state has been revealed based on different intermolecular interactions ranging from cation-anion to π-π stacking and to halogen⋅⋅⋅π interactions. For the [C20 H10 CH2 Cl](+) ion crystallized with several different counterions, the conformation of the R group attached to the central five-membered ring of corannulene moiety was found to depend on the solid-state environment defined by the identity of anions. Solution NMR and UV/Vis investigations have been used to complement the X-ray diffraction studies for this series of corannulene-based cations and to demonstrate their different association patterns with the solvent molecules.
