A new armchair carbon nanobelt synthesized by tuning the regioselectivity of the Scholl reaction of quinquephenyl†
Abstract
A new armchair carbon nanobelt is successfully synthesized by tuning the regioselectivity of the Scholl reaction of 1,1′:2′,1′′:4′′,1′′′:2′′′,1′′′′-quinquephenyl. This nanobelt exhibits a preferential binding affinity towards C70 over C60 as found from photoluminescence titration experiments.
