New Route to a [5,5] Carbon Nanotube End-Cap via Direct Borylation of Corannulene

Thesis advisor: Lawrence T. Scott === The Scott lab is interested in the functionalization of corannulene as a building block for large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and carbon nanotube end-cap precursors. Toward that end, a new approach to the direct five-fold borylation of corannulene with irid...
