Abstract
We synthesized a cyclic molecule from diarylalkynes and Meldrum's acid derivatives as the methylenation reagent via double Friedel-Crafts reaction. Single-crystal X-ray structure analysis confirmed the twisted structure of the molecule. We also investigated their physical properties and homoconjugation by UV-Vis, photoluminescence, DFT and TD-DFT calculations.

Polycationic Open-Shell Cyclophanes: Synthesis of Electron-Rich Chiral Macrocycles, and Redox-Dependent Electronic States. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202402800.

Abstract
π-Conjugated chiral nanorings with intriguing electronic structures and chiroptical properties have attracted considerable interests in synthetic chemistry and materials science. We present the design principles to access new chiral macrocycles (1 and 2) that are essentially built on the key components of main-group electron-donating carbazolyl moieties or the π-expanded aza[7]helicenes. Both macrocycles show the unique molecular conformations with a (quasi) figure-of-eight topology as a result of the conjugation patterns of 2,2',7,7'-spirobifluorenyl in 1 and triarylamine-coupled aza[7]helicene-based building blocks in 2. This electronic nature of redox-active, carbazole-rich backbones enabled these macrocycles to be readily oxidized chemically and electrochemically, leading to the sequential production of a series of positively charged polycationic open-shell cyclophanes. Their redox-dependent electronic states of the resulting multispin polyradicals have been characterized by VT-ESR, UV/Vis-NIR absorption and spectroelectrochemical measurements. The singlet (ΔES-T=-1.29 kcal mol-1) and a nearly degenerate singlet-triplet ground state (ΔES-T(calcd)=-0.15 kcal mol-1 and ΔES-T(exp)=0.01 kcal mol-1) were proved for diradical dications 12+2⋅ and 22+2⋅, respectively. Our work provides an experimental proof for the construction of electron-donating new chiral nanorings, and more importantly for highly charged polyradicals with potential applications in chirospintronics and organic conductors.

Abstract
Synthesis of conjugated compounds with unusual shape-persistent structures remains a challenge. Herein, utilizing thermodynamically reversible intermolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation, a dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) reaction, we facilely synthesized a figure-eight shaped macrocycle FEM and cage molecules CATPA/CACz. X-ray crystallographic analysis confirmed the chemical geometries of tetracation FEM4+(PF6 -)4 and hexacation CACz6+(SbF6 -)6. FEM and CATPA displayed higher photoluminescence quantum yield in solid states compared to that in solution, whereas CACz gave the reverse result. DFT calculations showed that fluorescence-related frontier molecular orbital profiles are mainly localized on their arms consisting of a p-quinodimethane (p-QDM) unit and two benzene rings of triphenylamine or carbazole. Owing to their space-confined structures, variable-temperature 1H NMR measurements showed that FEM, CATPA and FEM4+ have intramolecular restricted motion of phenyl rings on their chromophore arms. Accordingly, FEM and CATPA with flexible triphenylamine subunits displayed aggregation-induced emission behavior (AIE), whereas CACz with a rigid carbazole subunits structure showed no AIE behavior.

Abstract
Although helicenes are promising molecules, the synthetic difficulty and tediousness have often been problems, and only small amounts of optically pure helicenes have been obtained by using chiral HPLC in most cases. Herein, aza[7]helicenes or closed-aza[7]helicenes with (1R)-menthyl substituents were selectively synthesized via the intramolecular Scholl reaction, and the diastereomeric pairs were separated by silica gel column chromatography. The optically pure helicenes were further transformed into the corresponding cyclic dimers, and the chiroptical properties were investigated. The rigid π-frameworks of the dimers led to the high molar extinction coefficients and fluorescence quantum yields, while the twisted helicene moieties induced clear Cotton effects and CPL in the visible region, and the high CPL brightness (BCPL) was achieved. Furthermore, the cyclic dimers were found to have the macrocyclic cavity with the two NH groups suitable for the selective binding of a fluoride anion, which induced significantly redshifted fluorescence and CPL in the red region.

Abstract
Metathesis reactions, including alkane, alkene, and alkyne metatheses, have their origins in the fundamental understanding of chemical reactions and the development of specialized catalysts. These reactions stand as transformative pillars in organic chemistry, providing efficient rearrangement of carbon-carbon bonds and enabling synthetic access to diverse and complex compounds. Their impact spans industries such as petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and materials science. In this work, we present a detailed mechanistic study of the Re(V) catalyzed alkyne metathesis through density functional theory calculations. Our findings are in agreement with the experimental evidence from Jia and co-workers and unveil critical factors governing catalyst performance. Our work not only enhances our understanding of alkyne metathesis but also contributes to the broader landscape of catalytic processes, facilitating the design of more efficient and selective transformations in organic synthesis.

Abstract
We herein describe the synthesis of a new class of axially chiral aza/boracyclophanes (BDN1, BXN1, BDB1 and BXB1) using binaphthyls as chiral building blocks and the main-group (B/N) chemistry with tunable electronic effects. All macrocycles substituted with triarylamine donors or triarylborane acceptors are strongly luminescent. These macrocycles showed two distinct meta and para π-conjugation pathways, leading to the formation of quasi figure-of-eight and square-shaped conformations. Interestingly, comparison of such structural models revealed that the former type of macrocycles BXN1 and BXB1 gave higher racemization barriers relative to the other ones. The results reported here may provide a new approach to engineer the optical stability of π-conjugated chiral macrocycles by controlling π-substitution patterns. The ring constraints induced by macrocyclization were also demonstrated to contribute to the configurational persistence as compared with the open-chain analogues p-BTT and m-BTT.

Abstract
Highly emissive π-conjugated macrocycles with tunable circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) have sparked theoretical and synthetic interests in recent years. Herein, we report a synthetic approach to obtain new chiral organoborane macrocycles (CMC1, CMC2, and CMC3) that are built on the structurally chiral [5]helicenes and highly luminescent triarylborane/amine moieties embedded into the cyclic systems. These rarely accessible B/N-doped main-group chiral macrocycles show a unique topology dependence of the optoelectronic and chiroptical properties. CMC1 and CMC2 show a higher luminescence dissymmetry factor (glum) together with an enhanced CPL brightness (BCPL) as compared with CMC3. Electronic effects were also tuned and resulted in bathochromic shifts of their emission and CPL responses from blue for CMC1 to the near-infrared (NIR) region for CMC3. Furthermore, chemical oxidations of the N donor sites in CMC1 gave rise to a highly stable radical cation (CMC1·+SbF6-) and diradical dication species (CMC12·2+2SbF6-) that serve as a rare example of a positively charged open-shell chiral macrocycle.

Abstract
Fully aromatic helicenes are attractive building blocks for the construction of inherently chiral π-conjugated macrocyclic nanocarbons. These hitherto rare molecular architectures are envisaged to exhibit remarkable (chir)optical properties, self-assembly, charge/spin transport, induced ring current or a fascinating Möbius topology. Here the synthesis of helically chiral macrocycles that combine angular dibenzo[5]helicene units as corners and linear trans-stilbene-4,4'-diyl linkers as edges is reported. By subjecting a racemic or enantiopure divinyl derivative of dibenzo[5]helicene to olefin metathesis, which was catalysed by a 2nd generation Piers catalyst under kinetic control, a π-conjugated helicene cyclic trimer (33%) and a tetramer (22%) were obtained, which were separated by GPC. Combining racemic/asymmetric synthesis with the resolution of enantiomers/diastereomers by SFC/HPLC on a chiral column, both homochiral (+)-(M,M,M)/(-)-(P,P,P) and heterochiral (+)-(M,M,P)/(-)-(M,P,P) stereoisomers of the helicene cyclic trimer could be obtained in an enantio- and diastereomerically enriched form. The complete energy profile of their interconversion was compiled on the basis of kinetic measurements and numerical solution of the proposed kinetic model. In equilibrium, the heterochiral diastereomer predominates over the homochiral one (ca. 75 : 25 at 76 °C). π-Conjugation along a large, twisted circuit in the helicene cyclic trimer is rather disrupted, stabilising this formally antiaromatic molecule. Using an optimised PeakForce mode of ambient AFM, the self-assembly of otherwise highly mobile stereoisomers of the helicene cyclic trimer on the HOPG surface could be studied. Irrespective of the stereochemistry, strong preferences for the edge-to-edge interaction of these macrocycles were found to form very long parallel 1D molecular stripes in ordered 2D nanocrystals, a result also supported by molecular dynamics simulations. Six trityl groups, initially introduced to the macrocycle to enhance solubility, serve as a key "molecular Velcro" system in the self-assembly of macrocycles to maximise their mutual van der Waals interactions.

Abstract
Optical and spectral properties of carbon nanohoop with Möbius topology is of great interest in nano-science and nano-technology. And it can be imagined that it has a lot of unexpected potential application prospects. However, theoretical calculations based on some figure-of-eight helicene carbon nanohoop with Möbius topology are still insufficient. Therefore, in this paper, we theoretically study the optical and spectral properties of figure-of-eight helicene carbon nanohoop with Möbius topology. Optical and spectral properties are analyzed with visualization method of transition density matrix and charge density difference, which reveal the unique characterization of carbon nanohoop with Möbius topology. Our results can not only deepen the understanding of the optical physical mechanisms of the nanorings with mobius carbons, but also provide deeper insight on optical properties and potential design on optical nanodevices.

Abstract
Luminescent Möbius strip microstructures have been created for the first time based on flexible organic single crystals via a template-free solution self-assembly. We herein demonstrated a rationally designed morphological evolution toward Möbius strips from rings and helixes. Our findings lay the foundation for the future construction of complex matters with predetermined morphologies and functions from crystal systems.

Abstract
We present the first helicene carbon nanoohop that integrates a [6]helicene into [7]cycloparaphenylene. The [6]helicene endows the helicene carbon nanohoop with chiroptical properties and configurational stability typical for higher helicenes, while the radially conjugated seven para‐phenylenes largely determine the optoelectronic properties. The structure of the helicene carbon nanoohop was unambiguously characterized by NMR, MS and X‐ray analysis that revealed that it possesses a topology of a Möbius strip in the solid state and in solution. The chirality transfers from the [6]helicene to the para‐phenylenes and leads to a pronounced circular dichroism and bright circularly polarized luminescence, which is affected by the structural topology of the nanohoop.

Abstract
Transition metals form a variety of alkylidyne complexes with either a d0 metal center (high-valent) or a non-d0 metal center (low-valent). One of the most interesting properties of alkylidyne complexes is that they can undergo or mediate metathesis reactions. The most well-studied metathesis reactions are alkyne metathesis involving high-valent alkylidynes. High-valent alkylidynes can also undergo metathesis reactions with heterotriple bonded species such as N≡CR, P≡CR, and N≡NR+. Metathesis reactions involving low-valent alkylidynes are less known. Highly efficient alkyne metathesis catalysts have been developed based on Mo(VI) and W(VI) alkylidynes. Catalytic cross-metathesis of nitriles with alkynes has also been achieved with M(VI) (M = W, Mo) alkylidyne or nitrido complexes. The metathesis activity of alkylidyne complexes is sensitively dependent on metals, supporting ligands and substituents of alkylidynes. Beyond metathesis, metal alkylidynes can also promote other reactions including alkyne polymerization. The remaining shortcomings and opportunities in the field are assessed.

Abstract
Three-rung molecular ladder 8 was prepared in one pot via tandem imine condensation and alkyne metathesis. Catalyst VI is demonstrated to successfully engender the metathesis of imine-bearing substrate 7, while catalyst III does not. The susceptibility of catalyst VI to deactivation by hydrolysis and ligand exchange is demonstrated. Assembly and disassembly of ladder 8 in one pot were demonstrated in the presence and absence of a Lewis acid catalyst.

Abstract
With the serendipitous discovery of crown ethers by Pedersen more than half a century ago and the subsequent introduction of host-guest chemistry and supramolecular chemistry by Cram and Lehn, respectively, followed by the design and synthesis of wholly synthetic cyclophanes-in particular, fluorescent cyclophanes, having rich structural characteristics and functions-have been the focus of considerable research activity during the past few decades. Cyclophanes with remarkable emissive properties have been investigated continuously over the years and employed in numerous applications across the field of science and technology. In this Review, we feature the recent developments in the chemistry of fluorescent cyclophanes, along with their design and synthesis. Their host-guest chemistry and applications related to their structure and properties are highlighted.

Abstract
Constructing chiral luminescent systems with both large luminescence dissymmetry factor (glum) and high luminous efficiency has been considered a great challenge. We herein describe a highly efficient approach to sterically stabilize the helical configurations of carbo[5]helicenes for improved CPL properties in a series of π-donor and π-acceptor substituted [5]helicenes (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). Enabled by the ortho-installation of methyl groups as well as the steric effects of triarylamine (Ar3N) and triarylborane (Ar3B) handles in meta-substituted [5]helicenes, their optical resolution into enantiomers has been accomplished using preparative chiral HPLC. The molecular chirality of [5]helicenes can be transferred to Ar3B and Ar3N as light emitters, which allowed further investigations of their chiroptics, including optical rotation, circular dichroism (CD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). Remarkably, 4 has been demonstrated to display dramatically enhanced CPL performance with a much larger glum (>1.2 × 10-2) and an increased emission quantum efficiency (ΦS = 0.75) compared with the other analogues, as a result of the isomeric tuning of substitutions with differential steric and electronic effects. These experimentally observed CPL activities were rationalized by TD-DFT computations for the angle (θμ,m) between electric and magnetic transition dipole moments in the excited states. In addition, the conspicuous intramolecular donor-acceptor charge transfer led to thermal responses in the emissions of 2 and 4 over a broad temperature range.

Abstract
A family of d2 Re(V) alkylidyne complexes bearing two decorated phosphino-phenolates (POs) and a labile pyridine ligand were prepared that can efficiently promote alkyne metathesis reactions in toluene. The relative activity of these complexes varies with the PO ligands. Complexes with an electron-rich metal center have a higher activity. Ligand exchange experiments suggest that the pyridine ligands of the Re(V) alkylidynes with more electron-donating PO ligands are more labile and are more easily released to generate catalytically active species. However, complexes with electron-withdrawing PO ligands are more air-stable than those with electron-donating PO ligands. These Re(V) alkylidyne catalysts can promote the homometathesis of functionalized internal alkyl- and aryl-alkynes, as well as ring-closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM) of methyl-capped diynes, forming macrocycles with a ring size ≥12 efficiently for concentrations ≤5 mM. These reactions represent the first examples of RCAM mediated by non-d0 alkylidyne complexes. The Re(V) alkylidyne catalysts tolerate a wide range of functional groups including ethers, esters, ketones, aldehydes, alcohols, phenols, amines, amides, and heterocycles. Moreover, the catalytic RCAM reactions promoted by robust Re(V) alkylidyne catalysts could also proceed normally in wet toluene.

Abstract
By their conformational flexibility, Möbius aromatic hexaphyrins provide a dynamic chirality attractive to develop stimuli responsive systems such as chiroptical switches. A regular [28]hexaphyrin has been equipped with a chiral coordinating arm to achieve transfer of chirality from a fix stereogenic element to the dynamic Möbius one. The arm allows straightforward formation of labile monometallic ZnII complexes with an exogenous ligand, either a carboxylato or an amino with opposite inwards/outwards orientations relative to the Möbius ring. As a corollary, the chiral coordinating arm is constrained over the ring or laterally, inducing opposite P and M Möbius configurations with unprecedented high stereoselectivity (diast. excess greater than 95 %). By tuning the transfer of chirality, these achiral effectors generate electronic circular dichroism spectra with bisignate Cotton effect of opposite signs. Switching between distinct chiroptical states was ultimately achieved in mild conditions owing to ligand exchange, with high robustness (10 cycles).

Abstract
![]()
For numerous enabling features and strategic virtues, contemporary
alkyne metathesis is increasingly recognized as a formidable synthetic
tool. Central to this development was the remarkable evolution of
the catalysts during the past decades. Molybdenum alkylidynes carrying
(tripodal) silanolate ligands currently set the standards; their functional
group compatibility is exceptional, even though they comprise an early
transition metal in its highest oxidation state. Their performance
is manifested in case studies in the realm of dynamic covalent chemistry,
advanced applications to solid-phase synthesis, a revival of transannular
reactions, and the assembly of complex target molecules at sites,
which one may not intuitively trace back to an acetylenic ancestor.
In parallel with these innovations in material science and organic
synthesis, new insights into the mode of action of the most advanced
catalysts were gained by computational means and the use of unconventional
analytical tools such as 95Mo and 183W NMR spectroscopy.
The remaining shortcomings, gaps, and desiderata in the field are
also critically assessed.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) continue to attract increasing interest with respect to their applications as luminescent materials. The ordered structure of the metal-organic complex facilitates the selective integration of PAHs that can be tuned to function cooperatively. Here, a unique highly twisted anthracene-based organoplatinum metallacycle was prepared via coordination-driven self-assembly. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the metallacycle was twisted through the cooperation of strong π···π stacking interactions and steric hindrance between two anthracene-based ligands. Notably, the intramolecular twist and aggregation behavior introduced restrictions to the conformational change of anthracenes, which resulted in increased emission intensity of the metallacycle in solution. The emission behaviors and suprastructures based on the highly twisted metallacycle can be modulated by the introduction of different solvents. This study demonstrates that this metallacycle with highly twisted structure is a promising candidate for sensing and bioimaging applications.

Abstract
![]()
The
intermediacy of metallacyclobutadienes as part of a [2 + 2]/retro-[2
+ 2] cycloaddition-based mechanism is a well-established paradigm
in alkyne metathesis with alternative species viewed as off-cycle
decomposition products that interfere with efficient product formation.
Recent work has shown that the exclusive intermediate isolated from
a siloxide podand-supported molybdenum-based catalyst was not the
expected metallacyclobutadiene but instead a dynamic metallatetrahedrane.
Despite their paucity in the chemical literature, theoretical work
has shown these species to be thermodynamically more stable as well
as having modest barriers for cycloaddition. Consequentially, we report
the synthesis of a library of group VI alkylidynes as well as the
roles metal identity, ligand flexibility, secondary coordination sphere,
and substrate identity all have on isolable intermediates. Furthermore,
we report the disparities in catalyst competency as a function of
ligand sterics and metal choice. Dispersion-corrected DFT calculations
are used to shed light on the mechanism and role of ligand and metal
on the intermediacy of metallacyclobutadiene and metallatetrahedrane
as well as their implications to alkyne metathesis.

Abstract
Shape-persistent purely organic molecular architectures have attracted tremendous research interest in the past few decades. Dynamic Covalent Chemistry (DCvC), which deals with reversible covalent bond formation reactions, has emerged as an efficient synthetic approach for constructing these well-defined molecular architectures. Among various dynamic linkages, the formation of ethynylene linkages through dynamic alkyne metathesis is of particular interest due to their high chemical stability, linearity, and rigidity. In this review, we focus on the synthetic strategies of discrete molecular architectures (e.g., macrocycles, molecular cages) containing ethynylene linkages using alkyne metathesis as the key step, and their applications. We will introduce the history and challenges in the synthesis of those architectures via alkyne metathesis, the development of alkyne metathesis catalysts, the reported novel macrocycle structures, molecular cage structures, and their applications. In the end, we offer an outlook of this field and remaining challenges. The recent synthesis of novel shape-persistent 2D and 3D molecular architectures via alkyne metathesis is reviewed and the critical role of catalysts is also highlighted.![]()

Abstract
Aromaticity is a central concept in chemistry, pervading areas from biochemistry to materials science. Recently, chemists also started to exploit intricate phenomena such as the interplay of local and global (anti)aromaticity or aromaticity in non-planar systems and three dimensions. These phenomena pose new challenges in terms of our fundamental understanding and the practical visualisation of aromaticity. To overcome these challenges, a method for the visualisation of chemical shielding tensors (VIST) is developed here that allows for a 3D visualisation with quantitative information about the local variations and anisotropy of the chemical shielding. After exemplifying the method in different planar hydrocarbons, we study two non-planar macrocycles to show the unique benefits of the VIST method for molecules with competing π-conjugated systems and conclude with a norcorrole dimer showing clear evidence of through-space aromaticity. We believe that the VIST method will be a highly valuable addition to the computational toolbox.

Abstract
Planar chiral carbon nanorings and nanobelts (CNRs and CNBs), the sidewall segment molecules of chiral-type carbon nanotubes (CNTs), have attracted attention owing to their characteristic chiroptical properties. From the appropriate CNTs, axially or planar chiral CNRs and CNBs have been designed and synthesized, but multiply helical sidewall segments were almost unexplored due to the difficulty in simultaneous control of multiple chiralities. In this article, we have succeeded in the perfectly diastereo- and enantiocontrolled catalytic synthesis of a cycloparaphenylene with four helical and two planar chiralities showing good chiroptical responses as chiral organic molecules. The perfectly stereocontrolled multiply helical structure was confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The experimental and theoretical studies established the importance of the highly symmetric multiply helical structure in the cylindrical axis in obtaining good chiroptical responses.

Abstract
Unprecedented one-step C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bond cleavage leading to opening of the buckybowl (π-bowl), that could provide access to carbon-rich structures with previously inaccessible topologies, is reported; highlighting the possibility to implement drastically different synthetic routes to π-bowls in contrast to conventional ones applied for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Through theoretical modeling, we evaluated the mechanistic pathways feasible for π-bowl planarization and factors that could affect such a transformation including strain and released energies. Through employment of Marcus theory, optical spectroscopy, and crystallographic analysis, we estimated the possibility of charge transfer and electron coupling between "open" corannulene and a strong electron acceptor such as 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane. Alternative to a one-pot solid-state corannulene "unzipping" route, we reported a nine-step solution-based approach for preparation of novel planar "open" corannulene-based derivatives in which electronic structures and photophysical profiles were estimated through the energies and isosurfaces of the frontier natural transition orbitals.

Abstract
Triarylsilanolates are privileged ancillary ligands for molybdenum alkylidyne catalysts for alkyne metathesis but lead to disappointing results and poor stability in the tungsten series. 1 H,183 W heteronuclear multiple bond correlation spectroscopy, exploiting a favorable 5 J-coupling between the 183 W center and the peripheral protons on the alkylidyne cap, revealed that these ligands upregulate the Lewis acidity to an extent that the tungstenacyclobutadiene formed in the initial [2+2] cycloaddition step is over-stabilized and the catalytic turnover brought to a halt. Guided by the 183 W NMR shifts as a proxy for the Lewis acidity of the central atom and by an accompanying chemical shift tensor analysis of the alkylidyne unit, the ligand design was revisited and a more strongly π-donating all-alkoxide ligand prepared. The new expanded chelate complex has a tempered Lewis acidity and outperforms the classical Schrock catalyst, carrying monodentate tert-butoxy ligands, in terms of rate and functional-group compatibility.

Abstract
It is suggested that Möbius annulenes follow a rule similar to Baird's rule such that the 4n and 4n + 2 criteria for Möbius electronic ground-state aromaticity and antiaromaticity are reversed in the lowest triplet and first singlet excited electronic states. Support comes from an investigation of aromaticity in the ground (S0), lowest triplet (T1), and first singlet excited (S1) electronic states of the Möbius-aromatic cyclononatetraenyl cation, C9H9+, using isotropic magnetic shielding isosurfaces calculated with state-optimized complete-active-space self-consistent field wave functions constructed from gauge-including atomic orbitals. Examination of these isosurfaces demonstrates that while the S0 state of C9H9+ is aromatic, the T1 and S1 states are antiaromatic.
