Tighten your belt: The first aromatic nanobelt has been prepared by Itami and co-workers. This synthesis of a truncated Vögtle belt constitutes a milestone in long-standing efforts of numerous chemists. The realization of such a molecule provides not only new opportunities in materials science, but also paves the way to the rational synthesis of carbon nanotubes.
