Topological molecular nanocarbons: All-benzene catenane and trefoil knot
Abstract
Carbon catenation: Preparing interlocked rings and knots at the molecular scale traditionally relies on preorientation of the building blocks by nitrogen or oxygen substituents. Segawa et al. devised a distinct strategy to synthesize catenane and trefoil structures composed exclusively of carbon and hydrogen (see the Perspective by Van Raden and Jasti). They linked phenyl rings end to end into macrocycles that met in the middle at a silicon center. Excision of the silicon with fluoride then yielded the interlocked products.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
