<div>Construction of a SCNT of order 2. The outer level circumference is set to six hexagons and the outer length is set to eight zigzag rings (a) or two zigzag rings (b). The inner circumference is also held constant within each series. The inner length varies between two and seven (a) and four to nine (b) zigzag rings, respectively, resulting in different numbers of arcs in the respective structures.</div>
