Abstract
Cyclophane-type dications with two units of xanthylium were designed, with the expectation that intramolecular interaction between cation units could induce changes in absorption and redox behavior. The desired dications were synthesized via the macrocyclic diketone as a key intermediate, which was efficiently obtained by a stepwise etherification. X-ray and UV/Vis measurements revealed that the cyclophane-type dications adopt a stacking structure in both the crystal and solution. Due to the intramolecular interaction caused by π-π stacking of the xanthylium units, a considerable blue shift compared to the corresponding monocations and a two-stage one-electron reduction process were observed in the dications. Furthermore, upon electrochemical reduction of dications, the formation of biradicals via radical cation species was demonstrated by UV/Vis spectroscopy with several isosbestic points at both stages. Therefore, the cation-stacking approach is a promising way to provide novel properties due to perturbation of their molecular orbitals and to stabilize the reduced species even though they have open-shell characters.

Abstract
Intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) has significant impacts on organic optoelectronic materials, photochemistry, biotechnology, and so on. However, it is hard to stabilize the ICT state because of the rapid nonradiative charge recombination process, which often quenches light emission. In this work, we use new foldamers of the protonated pyridine-modified tetraphenylethene derivatives that possess through-space conjugation (TSC) characters as the models to study the impact of TSC on the ICT state. Steady and transient spectroscopies illustrate that the lifetime of the ICT state in the molecule with strong TSC can be much longer than those of molecules without TSC, giving rise to a higher fluorescence quantum yield. By combining the theoretical calculations, we demonstrate that the strong TSC can stabilize the ICT state and slow the charge recombination rate by more efficiently dispersing charges. This is a conceptually new design strategy for functional optoelectronic materials that require more stable ICT states.

Abstract
We introduce a design principle to stabilize helically chiral structures from an achiral tetrasubstituted [2.2]paracyclophane by integrating it into a macrocycle. The [2.2]paracyclophane introduces a three-dimensional perturbation into a nearly planar macrocyclic oligothiophene. The resulting helical structure is stabilized by two bulky substituents installed on the [2.2]paracyclophane unit. The increased enantiomerization barrier enabled the separation of both enantiomers. The synthesis of the target helical macrocycle 1 involves a sequence of halogenation and cross-coupling steps and a high-dilution strategy to close the macrocycle. Substituents tuning the energy of the enantiomerization process can be introduced in the last steps of the synthesis. The chiral target compound 1 was fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The absolute configurations of the isolated enantiomers were assigned by comparing the data of circular dichroism spectroscopy with TD-DFT calculations. The enantiomerization dynamics was studied by dynamic HPLC and variable-temperature 2D exchange spectroscopy and supported by quantum-chemical calculations.

Abstract
A [2.2]paracyclophane-based through-space–conjugated tetramer comprising four partially stacked π-electron systems was designed and synthesized, with a large overlap integral between the photoluminescence spectrum of the terminal π-electron system of the through-space–conjugated trimer and the absorption band of the fourth π-electron system. Efficient unidirectional photoexcited energy transfer in the tetramer occurred by the Förster mechanism; the energy transfer efficiency and related rate constants were found to be >0.999 and >1012 s–1, respectively, and stepwise energy transfer was found to be dominant. The [2.2]paracyclophane-based tetramer acted as a single molecular wire for efficient unidirectional photoexcited energy transfer.
