Cycloparaphenylenes ([n]CPPs from now on), were firstly synthesized in 2008, and promptly joined the fascinating world of carbon nano-materials in their own right. These systems are formed by cyclic molecules with n phenyl units connected each other in their para-position, a configuration that resembles an ultra-short armchair single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT). In this Ph. D. Thesis we put forward a systematic study on the electronic properties of [n]CPPs, providing a thoroughly link betwee...
