We theoretically investigated the possibility of a carbon nanomaterial with Saturn shape (nano-Saturn) as a novel inclusion compound consisting of C60and cyclohexabiphenylene based on total energy calculations using density functional theory. We found that nano-Saturn is energetically stable with similar or lower total energy to that of the other C60inclusion compounds experimentally synthesized to date. Furthermore, the formation reaction of nano-Saturn is exothermic with an energy gain of about 0.7 eV per molecule.
