Scientists cut and rebuild molecules from the inside to create new chiral nanocarbons

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan have developed a new method called skeletal editing to modify the internal structure of carbon molecules, enabling the creation of chiral nanocarbons with unique shapes such as figure-eights, bathtubs, and double helices. These molecules exhibit properties like light emission with spiral polarization, charge retention, thermal stability up to 280°C, and the ability to trap and release carbon dioxide through chiral pores. The breakthrough addresses longstanding challenges in modifying internal molecular structures and expands possibilities for advanced materials. The study was published in Nature Communications.
