The electron-rich and electron-poor macrocycles 1 - 3 have been synthesized.Their (3,3')biphenylophane framework is formed by Kharasch reaction.Whereas in the well-known donors and acceptors I - III the functionalities are conjugated, in their macrocyclic "analogues" 1 - 3 the conjugation is prevented by the meta-connection of the phenylene rings.The redox properties - studied by cyclovoltammetry - are discussed.The X-ray analysis of 3 shows considerable deviations from a planar structure.
