The hitherto longest molecular ribbons (4–6), composed of several [3.3]metacyclophane units, are synthesized using a new iterative synthetic strategy, up to a length of seven fourfold-bridged benzene rings, and it is proved by X-ray crystal structural analyses and 1H NMR spectroscopy that these molecules form meander-type folded syn conformations leading to multiple π-staples.

Broad Molecular Ribbons of Nanometer Size Composed of Biphenyl Units
The new tetrafunctionalized biphenyl key building blocks 16 and 39 led, for the first time, to the hitherto broadest molecular ribbons that contain biphenyl units in a transverse arrangement by iterative synthetic methods. The length and breadth of the molecular ribbons, as single chemical entities, are diversified. They can be used as cyclization precursors in the synthesis of long molecular tubes of type 2 with a large diameter. The solubility and the host-guest behavior (clathrate formation with benzene, dimethylformamide, and dichloromethane) of these nanometer-size molecular ribbons were optimized by the introduction of various side chains (benzenesulfonamide, 4-toluenesulfonamide, and 4-terf-butylbenzenesulfonamide groups) into the skeleton of the ribbons. New 14-, 15-, and 16-membered model ring systems (compounds 20a, 22a, and 24 respectively) were synthesized in order to examine the constitution of the 16-membered diaza[3.3]-phane 18a. Nanometer-size tube-shaped molecules 7a, 7b and 8 were obtained by cyclization of tetrafunctionalized molecular ribbons with the biphenyl building block. The constitution and conformation of the molecular ribbons and belts were proven by NOE experiments and X-ray analyses.

The hitherto longest molecular thread-belt assemblies 8, 29, 32 and 43 based on benzene-connected [3.3]metacyclophane units were prepared by means of a repetitive synthetic method. The preparation of difunctionalized [3.3]metacyclophane units (14, 22, 26) succeeded in good yields by an iteration sequence including the cyclization to the cyclophane skeleton and the derivatization of the ester groups. The covalent linkage of the [3.3]metacyclophane belt parts to the thread part leads to higher product yields compared to cyclophane belts only. The final intermolecular macrocyclizations are done by reaction of diamide, dithiol or dibromide functionalized belt fragments to obtain a minimum of single bridged benzene units in the macrocyclic thread-belt assemblies ("pseudobelts").
