<p>The structure-selective precise synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been long
sought in materials science. The aromatic molecules corresponding to segment
structures of CNTs, i.e. carbon nanobelts (CNBs), have been of interest as templates
for CNT growth. Although two of three types, armchair and chiral CNBs, have been
synthesized recently, zigzag CNBs remain elusive. Herein we report the synthesis and
isolation of a zigzag CNB. The synthesis involv… Show more
