As opposed to the thoroughly studied carbon-bridged calixarenes,[1] heteroatom-bridged [1n] metacyclophanes and their derivatives have recently attracted much attention mainly because of novel structure-property relationships originating from the replacement of methylene bridges with heteroatom bridges.[2] On the other hand, only a few reports are known for [1n] paracyclophanes, probably as a result of the difficulty in synthesizing them (Scheme 1).[3, 4]Aza [1n] paracyclophanes can be viewed as macrocyclic oligomers of polyaniline, which is one of the well-known organic conducting polymers.[5] As is apparent from the simple Hückel MO calculations, the HOMOs for linear and cyclic oligoanilines assume different aspects, as exemplified in Scheme 2. As for the linear hexamer, the large MO coefficients are concentrated on the central para-phenylenediamine (PD) moiety. Owing to the localized HOMO character, the ESR studies on the radical cations of linear oligoanilines showed that the spin was confined to the central PD moiety,
