The synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of the first member of the carbon nanobelt family is reported. [12]Carbon nanobelt ([12]CNB) was originally obtained from a nickel-mediated reductive coupling reaction of a dodecabrominated macrocyclic precursor, albeit only in 1% yield. The present article reports on the development of this synthetic strategy and its extension to the preparation of the [16] and [24]CNB analogues. In particular, our extensive investigations on the final belt-forming, nickel-mediated reaction led to the development of a new ligand system that provides [12]CNB in up to 7% yield, contributing to the commercialization of [12]CNB. The belt structures of [12], [16], and [24]CNB were characterized by NMR, UV-vis, and Raman spectroscopy as well as mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography. The fluorescence of the CNBs in solution displayed a remarkable dependence on the ring size, ranging from a broad red emission ([12]CNB) to a narrow-band blue emission ([24]CNB), while both features are observed for [16]CNB.

A convenient synthesis of 5α,8α, 14α, 17α-5,6,8,9,14,15,17,18 - octahydro-5,17:8,14-diepoxydibenzo[e,e′]benzo[1,2-a:4,5-a′ dicyclooctene (2) is described. This molecular cleft represents the parent of a new class of chiral molecular tweezers. It forms a clathrate with ethyl acetate which is stable even after 12 hours at 0.1 Tort. The structure of 2 was established by spectral and X-ray data. A convenient synthesis of 5a,8a,14a,17a-5,6,8,9,14,15,17,18-octahydro-5,17:8,14-diepoxydibenzo[e, e′]benzo[1,2-a:4,5-a′]icyclooctene (2) is described. It forms a clathrate with ethyl acetate which is stable even after 12 hours at .1 Torr. (Chemical Equation Presented).
