title: Synthesis and properties of [9]cyclo-1,4-naphthylene: a π-extended carbon nanoring.
abstract: The first synthesis of a π-extended carbon nanoring, [9]cyclo-1,4-naphthylene ([9]CN), has been achieved. Careful structure-property analyses uncovered a number of unique features of [9]CN that are quite different from those of [9]CPP, a simple carbon nanoring.
