Abstract

A hexagonal macrocycle consisting of 18 phenylene units (hyperbenzene) was synthesized on a Cu(111) surface in ultrahigh vacuum by Ullmann coupling of six 4,4$\prime$$\prime$-dibromo-m-terphenyl molecules. The large diameter of 21.3Å and the ability to assemble in arrays makes hyperbenzene an interesting candidate for a nanotrough that could enclose metallic, semiconducting, or molecular quantum dots.
