Rings on Fire – Cycloparaphenylenes under UV-light

Cycloparaphenylenes are unusual macrocylic compounds with a bend circular π-electron system which is perpendicular to the molecule's plane. This structural feature provides special challenges for their synthesis, but offers also unique opportunities in material sciences. Recently, a one-pot method for their preparation was presented by J. Griwatz and H.A. Wegner (DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1721082). The group of H. A. Wegner is also looking into supramolecular assemblies of this class of molecules as well as their electrochemical features (DOI: 10.1002/anie.201909126).
