- Paper "A Thorough Theoretical Exploration of Intriguing Characteristics of Cyclo[18]carbon" (ChemRxiv, DOI: 10.26434/chemrxiv.11320130). This work heavily employed Multiwfn in the analyses and sufficiently demonstrated the power of Multiwfn. This article can be regarded as a nice template of using Multiwfn in studying novel chemical systems. The content of this work has then been greatly extended and finally published as a series of individual papers: Carbon, 165, 468 (2020) DOI: 10.1016/j.carbon.2020.04.099, Carbon, 165, 461 (2020) DOI: 10.1016/j.carbon.2020.05.023, Carbon, 171, 514 (2021) DOI: 10.1016/j.carbon.2020.09.048, Chem. Asian J., 16, 56 (2021) DOI: 10.1002/asia.202001228
