title: Synthesis and characterization of pi-extended bowl-shaped pi-conjugated molecules.
abstract: A series of pi-extended bowl-shaped pi-conjugated compounds were synthesized from sumanene and characterized, and among them the terthiophene derivative showed a remarkable red-shifted absorption and small band gap, which wa rationalized by molecular orbital calculation.
