The field of fullerene chemistry expanded in an unexpected direction in 1991 when Sumio lijima of the NEC Fundamental Research Laboratories in Japan discovered fibrous carbon clusters in one of his fullerene preparations This led within a short time to substances of the type portrayed in Figure 11 7 called single-walled nanotubes The best way to think about this material IS as a stretched fullerene Take a molecule of Ceo cut it in half and place a cylindrical tube of fused six membered carbon rings between the two halves... 

We have seen in Section 4.1.4 that = n and that S2 = i, so we can immediately exclude from chirality any molecule having a plane of symmetry or a centre of inversion. The condition that a chiral molecule may not have a plane of symmetry or a centre of inversion is sufficient in nearly all cases to decide whether a molecule is chiral. We have to go to a rather unusual molecule, such as the tetrafluorospiropentane, shown in Figure 4.8, to find a case where there is no a or i element of symmetry but there is a higher-fold S element. In this molecule the two three-membered carbon rings are mutually perpendicular, and the pairs of fluorine atoms on each end of the molecule are trans to each other. There is an 54 axis, as shown in Figure 4.8, but no a or i element, and therefore the molecule is not chiral.

As the number of carbon atoms increases, the number of possible isomers becomes larger. Whereas there are only two isomeric butanes, there are three isomeric pentanes. With hve carbons, in addition to the open-chain compounds shown, a stable ring compound known as cyclopentane is also possible. Five- and six-membered carbon rings are very stable because the bonds between carbon atoms in these size rings are close to the 109° angle preferred by carbon. Three- and four-membered hydrocarbon rings are also known, but they are less stable because of the required distortion of the bond angle. 

Aromatic organic chemistry is a special branch of organic chemistry because the six-membered carbon rings that define aromatic compounds are exceptionally stable and act as central supports to which other groups can be attached. The name aromatic was given to early isolated examples of these compounds because they have characteristic odors.

Nonadiabatic transitions definitely play crucial roles for molecules to manifest various functions. The theory of nonadiabatic transition is very helpful not only to comprehend the mechanisms, but also to design new molecular functions and enhance their efficiencies. The photochromism that is expected to be applicable to molecular switches and memories is a good example [130]. Photoisomerization of retinal is well known to be a basic mechanism of vision. In these processes, the NT type of nonadiabatic transitions play essential roles. There must be many other similar examples. Utilization of the complete reflection phenomenon can also be another candidate, as discussed in Section V.C. In this section, the following two examples are cosidered (1) photochromism due to photoisomerization between cyclohexadiene (CHD) and hexatriene (HT) as an example of photoswitching molecular functions, and (2) hydrogen transmission through a five-membered carbon ring. 

The triphenylcyclopropenium cation (2), first prepared by Breslow,14 is an unusually intriguing species a 2tt-electron aromatic species constituted by a three-membered carbon ring. In every respect the triphenylcyclopropenium cation displays traditional aromatic behavior, the same as benzene. 

It has now been shown that 1,3-diketones are oxidized if they constitute part of a five- or six-membered carbon ring.1Sa...
