Abstract

[6]Cycloparaphenylene derivative with twelve methoxy groups at the 2,5-positions of all benzene rings was synthesized via a macrocyclic gold complex. The compound adopts a cylindrical molecular structure with a planar chirality due to multiple introductions of methoxy groups, thereby including electron-deficient guest molecules, and is easily oxidized to give a dicationic compound that exhibits in-plane aromaticity.
