By incorporating edge-sharing benzene rings into the radial pi-surface of tubularenes, we have triggered the emergence of radial orbital distribution in zigzag nanorings.
Molecular compounds with zigzag carbon nanotube geometries are exceedingly rare. Here we report the synthesis and characterization of carbon-based nanotubes with zigzag geometry, best described as radially oriented [n]cyclo-meta-phenylenes, extending the tubularene family of compounds. By the incorporation of edge-sharing benzene rings into the tubularenes radial pi-surface, we have uncovered the first step to give rise to the emergence of radial orbital distribution in zigzag nanorings.
