Classical cyclophanes with two benzene rings have been compared with cyclophanes with one benzene ring replaced with an aliphatic part and aliphatic compounds, which are cyclophane analogues. Analysis of geometry, atomic charges, and aromatic and steric energy and investigation of intramolecular noncovalent interactions and charge mobility show that there is no special feature that distinguishes the classical cyclophanes from aliphatic analogues, so the definition of cyclophanes can be extended to other compounds.

Unprecedented types of metal-free complete -phenylene bridged -cyclophanes ( and ) have been synthesized via sequential palladium-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig -arylation reactions. These cyclophanes may be considered as aromatic analogues of aliphatic group-spaced -macrocycles. These have been characterized fully using physicochemical characterization techniques and finally by single crystal X-ray structure determination.

Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) represent one of the largest but primarily underexplored natural product families in bacteria. The genetically encoded nature of RiPPs simplifies the prediction and prioritization of their biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). We report a small peptide and enzyme co-occurrence analysis workflow (SPECO), which allowed us to identify 32 220 prospective rSAM-catalyzed RiPP BGCs from 161 954 bacterial genomes and prioritize 25 families with new biosynthetic architectures or precursor patterns.

The so-called 'iron maiden' molecules belong to one of the most interesting subgroups of cyclophanes due to the presence of the ultrashort interaction between the CX apical bond and the benzene ring. This article presents an in-depth theoretical study of 16 'iron maiden' molecules, in which X = H, F, Cl or Br and the side chains are of various lengths and types: CSC, CSCC, CCC, and CCCC. It is shown that the H → F → Cl → Br substitution leads to a significant expansion of the 'iron maiden' molecule.

The first example of a cyclophane bearing a nitrogen-containing buckybowl was synthesized via sequential 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and palladium-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization. The key to the successful synthesis is the strain-induced 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a polycyclic aromatic azomethine ylide to the K-region of [7](2,7)pyrenophane. The resulting π-extended azacorannulenophane exhibits intriguing structural and physical properties, including unique variation of bowl depth, extraordinarily high-field chemical shifts in its H NMR spectrum, a decreased HOMO-LUMO gap, and a red shift in the absorption/emission spectrum, when compared to those of the parent azacorannulene.

This report describes the synthesis of a [2.2]paracyclophane-derived annulated 3-amino-imidazole ligand library through a Groebke-Blackburn-Bienaymé three-component reaction (GBB-3CR) approach employing formyl-cyclophanes in combination with diverse aliphatic and aromatic isocyanides and heteroaromatic amidines. The GBB-3CR process gives access to skeletally-diverse cyclophanyl imidazole ligands, namely 3-amino-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines and imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazines.
