The carbon-carbon (CÀC) bond activation of [n]cycloparaphenylenes ([n]CPPs) by atransition-metal complex is herein reported. The Pt 0 complex Pt(PPh 3 ) 4 regioselectively cleaves two C À C s bonds of [5] CPP and [6]CPP to give cyclic dinuclear platinum complexes in high yields.Theoretical calculations reveal that the relief of ring strain drives the reaction. The cyclic complex was further transformed into acyclic diketone by using aCOinsertion reaction.Cycloparaphenylenes (CPPs;S cheme 1) have attracted immense scientific interest because of their fascinating structure,p hysical properties,a nd potential applications in materials science.T his interest originates from their nonplanar and conjugated structure corresponding to the shortest cyclic structural unit of an armchair carbon nanotube. [1] After the successful bottom-up organic synthesis of CPPs by Jasti and Bertozzi et al., [2] Itami et al., [3] and Yamago et al., [4] CPPs of various sizes, [5][6][7] and their derivatives, [8] are available,a nd their unique physical properties,s uch as size-dependent photophysical [9] and redox properties [7a, 10] and host-guest chemistry, [11] have been unveiled. In particular, recent achievements in the large-scale synthesis of CPPs by the groups Supportinginformation and the ORCID identification number(s) for the author(s) of this article can be found under: https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201806591.
