Abstract

The recent report of what is termed a "half-Möbius" molecule is generating a lot of excitement. It has its origins in a project to make odd-numbered cyclocarbons on STM (scanning tunnelling microscope) surfaces. I had discussed even-numbered cyclocarbons in another post, where I also happened to include several odd-numbered examples, such as C49 and C51.
