Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>A shape‐persistent macrocycle consisting of 2, 6‐disubstituted aniline linked by acetylene, butadiyne, and an inner tetraethylene glycol bridge was prepared by Pd/Cu homocoupling oxidation reaction. The morphology of the resulting macrocycle was demonstrated and discussed, indicating the establishment of channels with amine functional groups inside the pores. Polarized optical microscopy (POM) observation of the macrocycle indicated the formation of liquid crystals (LCs) in the heating and cooling processes.</p> </abstract>
