The family of carbon allotropes was expanded by tip-induced synthesis and on-surface characterization of cyclo[N]carbons, molecular rings composed of N carbon atoms [1-3]. Cyclocarbons possess two orthogonal delocalized pi-systems and can undergo different Jahn-Teller distortions rendering them excellent systems for benchmarking theory [4-6]. Even-N cyclocarbons can be doubly aromatic [1,3] or doubly anti-aromatic [2], and can exhibit polyynic [1,2] or cumulenic [3] structures. Odd-N cyclocarbons [5,7] do not allow a symmetric polyynic structure, might be open-shell systems, and will be discussed in the talk.
