The study reveals the potential for synthesizing chirality in Möbius annulenes, suggesting intriguing implications for molecular design.
Much like climbing Mt. Everest because its there, some hypothetical molecules are just too tantalizing for chemists to resist attempting a synthesis. Thus in 1964, Edgar Heilbronner speculated on whether a conjugated annulene ring might be twistable into a Möbius strip.
