【 摘 要 】

We have synthesized a cycloparaphenylene containing a perylene motif that is a model for a carbon nanotube sidewall. The reactivity of the sidewall model towards a Diels-Alder reaction using a masked acetylene was examined and similar reactivity was observed between the macrocyclic and planar substrate. This study suggests that a Diels-Alder reaction is a viable method for carbon nanotube growth using an appropriate template. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
