Fig. 8. Möbius molecules have more strain due to an internal twist when compared to a non-Möbius belt. (a) The Möbius molecule synthesized in the Tanaka group is more strained than the non-Möbius despite being a larger size. (b) In a symmetric Möbius molecule, strain is centered at the twist entry point. Please see the ESI† for links to the 3D models.
