Abstract

Bimolecular coupling/unimolecular cyclization strategies, including McMurry- and Glaser-type homocoupling reactions, were utilized to synthesize two shape-persistent elliptic macrocycles, which consist of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon units. The identity and purity of both macrocycles MC1 and MC2 were verified by 1H and 13C NMR, elemental analysis, as well as MALDI-TOF MS. The photophysical properties of MC1 and MC2 in dilute solution were also investigated.
