Abstract

Disclosed herein are embodiments of halogenated nanohoop compounds and assemblies thereof that can be used to for a variety of biological and chemical applications. The halogenated nanohoop compounds described herein exhibit non-covalent interactions that promote their ability to stack and form column-like assemblies having uniform pore size and that do not exhibit structural defects typically associated with other column-like structures, such as carbon nanotubes. Assemblies described herein also are capable of non-covalent interactions with other assemblies and thus can be used to form networks of the assemblies described herein.

First claim

We claim:

1. A compound selected from

wherein each X independently is chloro, fluoro, bromo, or iodo; and each Y independently is O, S, or NH.

2. The compound of claim 1 , wherein the compound is selected from

3. The compound of claim 1 , wherein the compound is

4. The compound of claim 1 , wherein the compound is

5. An assembly, comprising a plurality of nanohoop compounds that are arranged, through one or more C—H/C—X interactions, in a column-like configuration, wherein at least one of the nanohoop compounds is a compound according to claim 1 .

6. A device, comprising a halogenated nanohoop compound according to claim 1 , wherein the device is an energy storage device, a nanoreactor, an electronic device, a biological transport device, or a chemical device.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the energy storage device is a capacitor, an electrode, a solar cell, a fuel cell, or a battery.

8. The device of claim 6 , wherein the electronic device is a two-contact electronic device.

9. The device of claim 6 , wherein the nanoreactor further comprises one or more guest species.
