Abstract
Sumanene (C21H12) is a C 3v symmetric buckybowl, which corresponds to a partial fullerene structure. On the other hand, hetero-π-conjugated molecules, in which one or more carbon atoms of π-system are replaced by main group element, have attracted much attention due to their unique optoelectronic properties. In these molecules, an interaction between π-orbitals and atomic orbitals of main group elements occurs electronic perturbation leading fine-tuning of HOMO and/or LUMO energy levels. Recent advances in the syntheses of heteroatom-containing sumanene are summarized in this review.
