[structure: see text] B3LYP and KMLYP/6-31G(d) calculations predict a double-helical and chiral conformation of [14]annulene with the topological properties of a double-twist Möbius band as highly aromatic; its energy with respect to the known Hückel-aromatic conformation is predicted to be stabilized by suitable ring substitution.
