Nanoscale shape-persistent macrocycles have attracted increasing attention because of their interesting structural, optical, and electronic properties. Moreover, they are able to build up highly organized supramolecular nanostructures in one, two, and three dimensions.[1] Recently, special emphasis has been given to self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of shape-persistent macrocycles on solid substrates.[2] The ring sizes and distances can be adjusted by the building blocks, and their interior and exterior can synthetically be addressed independently. Together, this allows a surface functionalization with atomic-level precision. In several cases, such patterns could be used for the epitaxial deposition of admolecules.[3]The driving forces for the self-assembly are the molecule–substrate and molecule–molecule interactions, which are dominated by van der Waals forces. Although rigid macrocycles and rigid linear oligomers [4] have come into the focus of recent scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) studies, a systematic investigation of rigid rods connected by freely jointed or freely rotating linkers [5] and their corresponding closed-loop structures on a solid substrate have been rarely reported, if at all.
