Towards stabilised cyclocarbons

This thesis describes synthetic efforts towards isolating cyclo[n]carbons. These elusive sp-hybridised allotropes of carbon have been synthetic targets for many years. Two modern stabilisation approaches are discussed that may provide the opportunity to finally prepare and study these molecules. Pri...
