Two kinds of aza[1n]paracyclophanes, tetraaza[14]paracyclophane (P4) and octaaza[18]paracyclophane (P8), were synthesized as the smallest and the largest monodisperse macrocyclic oligomers of polyaniline ever made. Herein we report the electronic nature of the cationic species of these two macrocycles with different ring size. By combining ESR spectroscopy and DFT calculations it was suggested thatP4·+was classified as delocalized class III or poised on the class II/III borderline whileP8·+was regarded as a localized class II mixed-valence system. We successfully isolated the dication ofP4as a stable dicationic saltP42+·2[SbF6]−, and the structure ofP42+was determined by X-ray crystal analysis. Variable-temperature NMR measurements forP42+·2[SbF6]−unequivocally showed thatP42+was a 22π electron system with a singlet ground state. The supercharged hexacation ofP8was also isolated asP86+·6[SbCl6]−, and X-ray crystal analysis revealed thatP86+includes one SbCl6–anion in its macrocyclic cavity.
