A new series of cyclophanes having 3,5-dicarbanoylpyridinium moieties were synthesized by the stepwise reactions starting from half protected compounds. The one-electron reduction potentials of these new cyclophane type NAD⁺ analogues are determined by the cyclic voltammetric method. The results indicate that the reduction potentials are primarily regulated by the through-bond mechanism.
