Alkyne-embedding [11]cycloparaphenylene ([11]CPPs) was functionalized with electron-donating, -neutral, and -withdrawing aryl substituents to yield a series of nanolassos via click chemistry. We used our state-of-the-art, artificial intelligence-enhanced quantum mechanical method 1 (AIQM1) to thoroughly analyze the electronic and photophysical properties of these …
