The discovery and creation of new carbon materials have motivated the evolution of technology. Carbon is one of the central elements, due to the characteristics of carbon atoms and varying electron configurations, diverse molecules will be discovered and formed. The structures and arrangements of carbon atoms in molecules have a significant impact on their properties. Nanocarbon molecules, as novel carbon materials with excellent properties, have found promising applications in nanotechnology, electronics, optics, and biomedical fields. In the past four decades, the discovery and creation of new variety of nanocarbon materials have opened up a new path to advanced science and technology. This paper focuses on the study of the structural characteristics of nanocarbon molecules with novel topological structures, and the way to achieve full synthetic control over these structures that are reported in recent years.
