, since its first successful synthesis, a variety of functionalized sumanenes as well as heterosumanenes have been developed because of their unique physiochemical properties. For example, bowl-to-bowl inversion, bowl depth, facial selectivity, crystal packing, metal complexes, intermolecular charge

1 Introduction
Over a long period of time, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have attracted a tremendous attention of the scientific community because of their diverse
section we will discuss the developments in heterosumanenes.
3.1 Synthesis of sulfur-doped sumanenes
Although, the interest in the sumanene chemistry arise in 1993 when for the first time Mehta and co-workers reported the unsuccessful attempt towards the construction of this beautifully simple yet much
