Buckybowls

It happened that I worked a lot with buckybowls. Buckybowls are very close relatives of fullerenes, I'd say even their siblings :)
Corannulene is one of the smallest buckybowls. So, it is not surprising I used corannulene motif in a few pictures I made. Here are some molecules I worked with. For my experiments I synthesized corannulene and dibenzocorannulene myself and I'm very proud in that :)
