Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Inherent Chirality in Hexa(tertbutylphenyl)-Substituted 6Cycloparaphenylene

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.
