Suzuki cross-coupling of kinked oligophenylene building blocks is used for the repetitive synthesis of large hexagons, which as a result of their substitution with flexible alkyl chains are soluble in common organic solvents. Cycle 15 with its 24 phenylene units is the largest shape persistent cycle known. The last cyclization step proceeds with 68% yield.
