Since 1996, a growing number of strained macrocycles, comprising only sp2‐or sp‐
hybridized carbon atoms within the ring, have become synthetically accessible, with the [n] …

The design and synthesis of novel π‐conjugated macrocycles have been an attractive topic
in synthetic chemistry and material and supramolecular chemistry. The distortion caused by …

Acetylenes are an important and valuable class of compounds in organic synthesis. This
book expands on this historically well-established concept, while incorporating the many …

Shape-persistent, nanosized macrocycles that are composed of only sp-and sp2-hydridized
carbon atoms on their perimeter (conjugated molecular loops and belts) have attracted …

Crystal clear: The title macrocycle was constructed by a nickel-mediated shotgun
macrocyclization. The X-ray crystallographic structure of [12] CPP revealed a circular …

For nearly one century, cycloparaphenylene (CPP), a simple string of benzene rings, has
captivated scientists for many reasons.[1, 2] Adding to their sheer aesthetic appeal and …
