Research Highlight
Ref: Fan, W.; Fukunaga, T. M.; Wu, S.; Han, Y.; Zhou, Q.; Wang, J.; Li, Z.; Hou, X.; Wei, H.; Ni, Y.; Isobe, H.; Wu, J., Synthesis and chiral resolution of a triply twisted Möbius carbon nanobelt. Nat. Synth. 2023, 2, 880–887.
The first triply twisted Möbius carbon nanobelt was synthesized. The Möbius band-like structure was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The racemic isomers were resolved by chiral HPLC and the isolated enantiomers exhibited a large absorption dissymmetry factor.
