Abstract
We have synthesized a cycloparaphenylene containing a perylene motif that is a model for a carbon nanotube sidewall. The reactivity of the sidewall model towards a Diels–Alder reaction using a masked acetylene was examined and similar reactivity was observed between the macrocyclic and planar substrate. This study suggests that a Diels–Alder reaction is a viable method for carbon nanotube growth using an appropriate template.
