  • Notas: Ognjen Š. Miljani was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, in 1978. He holds a Diploma (2000) from the University of Belgrade and a PhD (2005) from the University of California at Berkeley, where he worked with Prof. K. Peter C. Vollhardt on carbon-rich molecules. Between 2005 and 2008, he was a postdoctoral researcher at UCLA with Sir Fraser Stoddart. In 2008, he started his independent career at the University of Houston, where he is currently an Associate Professor of Chemistry. For his research and teaching, Ognjen was honored by the 2012 National Science Foundation CAREER award, the 2013 Cottrell Scholar Award, the 2019 Humboldt Research Fellowship, and several other distinctions. He is a father of three.
    Maymounah Alrayyani received her BSc (2007) and MSc (2011) degrees in Chemistry from King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia (Jeddah). She has worked as a lecturer before receiving a scholarship from the King Abdulaziz University to pursue a PhD in USA. She joined Prof. Miljani 's research group at the University of Houston as a PhD student in 2015. Her research interests are focused on the derivatization of cyclobenzoins and their use as ligands for metal ions.

  • Descrição: Benzoin condensation is one of the oldest rigorously described organic reactions, having been discovered in 1832 by Liebig and Wöhler. It creates a new C-C bond and a stereocenter from ubiquitous aldehyde starting materials under simple cyanide-catalyzed conditions. We have recently discovered cyclobenzoins: a class of macrocyclic compounds prepared by a benzoin cyclooligomerization of simple aromatic dialdehydes. Cyclobenzoins' internal cavities suggest they should be intriguing solution-phase supramolecular hosts, while their crystallographic packing aligns these cavities into potentially useful pores in the solid state. Well-precedented derivatization chemistry allows rapid functionalization into heteroacenes, which are optoelectronic materials and models for graphene defects. This Feature Article summarizes our work on cyclobenzoins, together with other applications of benzoins in supramolecular chemistry and materials science.
