Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A hexagonal macrocycle</bold> consisting of 18 phenylene units (hyperbenzene) was synthesized on a Cu(111) surface in ultrahigh vacuum by Ullmann coupling of six 4, 4′′‐dibromo‐<italic>m</italic>‐terphenyl molecules. The large diameter of 21.3 Å and the ability to assemble in arrays makes hyperbenzene an interesting candidate for a nanotrough that could enclose metallic, semiconducting, or molecular quantum dots.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1xps7xjb" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
