Highlycurved buckybowls 3, 4, and 5 were synthesized from planar precursors, fluoranthenes 8, benzo[k]fluoranthenes 10 and naphtho[1,2‐k]‐cyclopenta[cd]fluoranthenes 12, respectively, using straightforward palladium‐catalyzed cyclization reactions. These fluoranthene‐based starting materials were easily prepared from 1,8‐bis(arylethynyl)naphthalenes 6. Both buckybowls 3 and 4 are fragments of C60
