| Summary: | Buckybowls have concave and convex surfaces with distinct π-electron cloud distribution, and consequently they show unique structural and electronic features as compared to planar aromatic polycycles. Doping the π-framework of buckybowls with heteroatoms is an efficient scheme to tailor inherent properties, because the nature of heteroatoms plays a pivotal role in the structural and electronic characteristics of the resulting hetera-buckybowls. The design, synthesis, and derivatization of hetera-buckybowls open an avenue for obtaining fascinating organic entities not only of fundamental importance but also of promising applications in optoelectronics. In this review, we summarize the advances in hetera-buckybowl chemistry, particularly the synthetic strategies toward these scaffolds.
Hetera-buckybowls have attracted growing interest because of their unique physicochemical properties originating from their curved π-surface and the inherent nature of heteroatoms. |

| Bibliography: | Prof. Xiangfeng Shao was born in Gansu Province, China. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Lanzhou University in 1998 and 2001, respectively. He then joined Professor Daoben Zhu's group at ICCAS and received his Ph.D. degree in 2004. Thereafter, he worked as a post-doc in JST, Kyoto University, and Osaka Prefecture University until 2009. In October 2009, he became a Professor of Chemistry at Lanzhou University. His current research areas include synthesis, chemical reactivity, and optoelectronic properties of non-conventional π-systems. He received the Excellent Youth Fund from NSFC in 2015 and was appointed as vice-director of SKLAOC in 2018. Wenbo Wang was born in Shanxi Province, China. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in 2014 and 2017, respectively, from Hunan Institute of Technology and Henan University. He subsequently enrolled as a Ph.D. student in the group of Prof. Xiangfeng Shao at Lanzhou University working on the design and synthesis of buckybowls and nonplanar π-aromatic compounds.
