Key Points

To explore the synthesis and structure of a new chiral [6]cycloparaphenylene derivative.
Synthesis of [6]CPP-6tBuPh
Analysis of crystal structure
Examination of molecular chirality and phenylene rotation
The substitution leads to intrinsic chirality in the [6]CPP derivative.
Limited phenylene rotation was observed due to the peripheral substitutions.

Implication

Synthesis of a chiral [6]cycloparaphenylene derivative reveals implications for molecular design.

Abstract

Herein, we report a [6]cycloparaphenylene ([6]CPP) derivative, [6]CPP-6tBuPh, in which peripheral substitution breaks the intrinsic symmetry of the nanohoop, giving rise to inherent molecular chirality with restricted phenylene rotation. The...
