Abstract
In this paper, we report on a one-step catalyst-transfer macrocyclization (CTM) reaction, based on the Pd-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling reaction, selectively affording only cyclic structures. This route offers a versatile and efficient approach to synthesize aza[1n]paracyclophanes (APCs) featuring diverse functionalities and lumens. The method operates at mild reaction temperatures (40 °C) and short reaction times (∼2 h), delivering excellent isolated yields (>75% macrocycles) and up to 30% of a 6-membered cyclophane, all under nonhigh-dilution concentrations (35-350 mM). Structural insights into APCs reveal variations in product distribution based on different endocyclic substituents, with steric properties of exocyclic substituents having minimal influence on the macrocyclization. Aryl-type endocyclic substituents predominantly yield 6-membered macrocycles, while polycyclic aromatic units such as fluorene and carbazole favor 4-membered species. Experimental and computational studies support a proposed mechanism of ring-walking catalyst transfer that promotes the macrocycle formation. It has been found that the macrocyclization is driven by the formation of cyclic conformers during the oligomerization step favoring an intramolecular C-N bond formation that, depending on the cycle size, hinges on either preorganization effect or kinetic increase of the reductive elimination step or a combination of the two. The CTM process exhibits a "living" behavior, facilitating sequential synthesis of other macrocycles by introducing relevant monomers, thus providing a practical synthetic platform for chemical libraries. Notably, CTM operates both under diluted and concentrated regimes, offering scalability potential, unlike typical macrocyclization reactions usually operating in the 0.1-1 mM range.

Abstract
The side chains of macrocyclic molecules have a non-negligible effect on the two-dimensional (2D) supramolecular networks at the liquid-solid interface. In this study, we investigate the self-assembly behaviors of two conjugated triphenylamine macrocycles modified with different alkyl chains and construct the host-guest supramolecular nanopatterns on the highly oriented pyrolytic graphite with a scanning tunneling microscope. In combination with density functional theory calculations, how different side chains affect the host-guest interaction is discussed. This work provides insights into constructing a 2D host-guest dynamic co-assembly on the surface.

Abstract
Triphenylamine derivates have been utilized as building blocks in hole-transporting materials. Herein, we describe the synthesis of three octyl-derived conjugated triphenylamine macrocycles with different sizes, and a 4-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-substituted cyclic triphenylamine hexamer using a palladium-catalyzed C–N coupling reaction. These conjugated triphenylamine macrocycles not only have interesting structures, but also are capable of complexing with C60, C70 and PC61BM. Their binding stoichiometries with fullerenes were all determined to be 1 : 1 by an emission titration method. The association constants of these complexes were measured to be in the range of 0.115–1.53 × 105 M−1 depending on the cavity size of the triphenylamine macrocycles and the volume of the fullerenes. The space-charge-limited current properties of the complexes were further investigated using the fabricated ITO/PEDOT:PSS/active layer/Au devices. Cyclic triphenylamine (TPA) oligomers synthesized by C–N coupling were found to be capable of complexing with fullerenes, and the applications in optoelectronic devices were investigated by using the fabricated ITO/PEDOT:PSS/active layer/Au devices.![]()
