Numerous otherwise difficult applications have been realized with materials, the chemical/physical properties of which can be controlled by external stimuli such as heat, pressure, photo‐irradiation, and voltage bias. However, the complexity of design and the lack of easy‐to‐conduct synthetic methods make the creation of on‐demand stimuli responsive materials a formidable task. Here we report an electric‐stimuli‐responsive multifunctional material, [10]CPP‐I: crystalline assembly of a hydrocarbon nanoring ([10]cycloparaphenylene: [10]CPP) as an “electro‐responsive porous host” and iodine as a “potentially functional molecule”. Through applying electric stimulus, [10]CPP‐I turned to exhibit two attractive properties: electronic conductivity and white light emission. We revealed that electric stimuli trigger the cascade formation of polyiodide chains inside the [10]CPP assembly through charge transfer, leading to the emergence of these properties. This “responsive porous host” approach is expected to be applicable for different stimuli, and opens the path for devising a generic strategy to the development of stimuli‐responsive materials.

Carbon nanorings (CNRs) and carbon nanobelts (CNBs) of various sizes and innovative molecular architectures have ushered improvement in research in recent years. This serves as a prerequisite for further advances and applications, such as organic semiconductors and bottom‐up synthesis of single‐walled carbon nanotubes. Nevertheless, challenges such as high strain energy, excessive reactivity, end‐product stability, low‐scale yields, and side reactions inhibit material synthesis and applications. In this review, CNRs, CNBs, and other heteroatom‐doped molecular belts are discussed based on their molecular structural characteristics, with a special focus on their developments in the past two years. Furthermore, current applications, research obstacles, and future developments related to CNRs and CNBs are discussed. For the first time, studies and advancements in organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs) have been summarized in detail.

In the last ten years, the development of -conjugated nanohoops has been considerable owing to their remarkable properties. However, to date, their incorporation in organic electronic devices remains very scarce. In this work, we report the first high performance organic electronic device (i.e. Phosphorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diode PhOLED) incorporating a nanohoop ([4]-cyclo-N-butyl-2,7-carbazole [4]C-Bu-Cbz), revealing their potential in electronics. Thus, using the red phosphor Ir(MDQ) 2 (acac), the [4]C-Bu-Cbz-based PhOLED displays a high External Quantum Efficiency (EQE) of 17.0 %, a Current Efficiency (CE) of 20.6 cd.A -1 and a Power Efficiency (PE) of 25.8 lm.W -1 demonstrating that the charges injection, transport and recombination are particularly efficient. This performance is significantly higher than that of its linear counterpart, N-butyl-2,7quartercarbazole [4]L-Bu-Cbz, which presents an EQE of 11.1 %, a CE of 13.0 cd.A -1 and a PE of 15.7 lm.W -1 . The significant difference, in term of device performance, between cyclic and acyclic compounds provides a new basis to construct high-performance electronic devices. This study, which includes optical, electrochemical, morphological and charge transport properties, shows that nanohoops can be efficiently used as organic semi-conductors in electronics and opens the way to their practical uses in highperformance optoelectronic devices, which is now the next stage of their evolution.
