important not only for basic research in molecular engineering, but also for appli-
cations in materials science. However, the necessary factors and techniques to form
polar crystals remain largely unknown. In the near future, more crystal examples
will help to clarify the questions described above.
Redox chemistry and the photophysical properties of buckybowls have been
intensively studied, and they can be tuned by changing molecular skeletons, as well
as number and placement of substituents. The preliminary material investigations
indicated that buckybowls can be used as liquid crystals and molecular electronics.
Since the preparation methods have been dramatically improved, and investigations
of physical properties have brought fruitful results, a wide range of applications of
organic materials based on buckybowls can be looked forward to in the future.
Progress from Lawton's seminal work to application in device technology has been
verified by the recent patent on the use of numerous corannulene derivatives as
OLEDs [
