Next-Generation Carbon Material with Infinite Potential:
(6,6)Carbon Nanobelt

• New carbon material synthesized for the first time in 2017 after over 60 years of challenges.
• Rigid belt structure with 12 fully fused benzene rings
• Partial structure of armchair-type carbon nanotube (CNT)
• (6,6)Carbon Nanobelt has properties similar to (6,6)CNT
• Red light emission: λ_em = 630 nm (λ_ex = 500 nm in CH₂Cl₂)
