The most common examples of these compounds can be purified on the laboratory scale by complexation with DBU which eliminates more complex forms from mixtures containing them. Azomethine ylides add functional groups onto them in a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction named for Prato. The 6:6 ring bonds of these structures are shorter than the 6:5 bonds, and they are only allowed to have adjacent pentagon structures. Cylindrical variants of these structures are called carbon nanotubes, and they are caged molecules made of hexagonal carbon rings. For 10 points, identify these chemical structures w
