Large cyclocarbons up to C88 were made on NaCl via tip-induced fusion, with transport gap measurements confirming aromaticity oscillations that diminish with increasing ring size and persist at N=42.
Transport gaps Δ calculated at OX-BLYP30/def2-TZVP (a) and G0W0@OX- BLYP30/def2-QZVP (b) level of theory for even-N cyclocarbons with N = 6–100

On-surface synthesis and aromaticity of large cyclocarbons
Large cyclocarbons up to C88 were made on NaCl via tip-induced fusion, with transport gap measurements confirming aromaticity oscillations that diminish with increasing ring size and persist at N=42.
