[n]Cycloparaphenylenes ([n]CPPs, where n is the number of phenylene groups), consisting of 1,4-linked phenylene unit, have attracted much attention due to their cyclic π-conjugated structures and physical properties. However, functionalizing of the benzene rings of smaller [n]CPPs (n < 7) has been a challenge due to ring strain and steric hindrance of the substituents that hampers their synthesis. Here we show successful synthesis of a new [6]CPP derivative with twelve methoxy groups at the 2,5-positions of all benzene rings by utilizing our developed CPP synthesis method via a macrocyclic gold complex. This molecule exhibited a significantly higher oxidation potential caused by the electron-donating ability of the methoxy groups and the tubular molecular conformation, allowing facile oxidation to give dicationic species with in-plane aromaticity. Furthermore, this molecule successfully included with the guest molecules with a flexible alkyl chain in the cavity, enabling the creation of a CPP-based rotaxane, which exploited its mechanically interlocked molecular structure to the first experimental observation that the in-plane aromaticity in the center of the macrocycle.
