摘要

The defining feature of aromatic hydrocarbon compounds is a cyclic molecular structure stabilized by the delocalization of π electrons that, according to the Hueckel rule, need to total 4n + 2 (n = 1,2,...); cyclic compounds with 4n π electrons are antiaro-matic and unstable. But in 1964, Heilbronner predicted on purely theoretical grounds that cyclic molecules with the topology of a Moebius band-a ring constructed by joining the ends of a rectangular strip after having given one end half a twist-should be aromatic if they contain 4n, rather than 4n + 2, π electrons. The prediction stimulated attempts to synthesize Moebius aromatic hydrocarbons, but twisted cyclic molecules are destabilized by large ring strains, with the twist also suppressing overlap of the p orbitals involved in electron delocalization and stabilization. In larger cyclic molecules, ring strain is less pronounced but the structures are very flexible and flip back to the less-strained Hueckel topology. Although transition-state species, an unstable intermediate and a non-conjugated cyclic molecule, all with a Moebius topology, have been documented, a stable aromatic Moebius system has not yet been realized. Here we report that combining a 'normal' aromatic structure (with p orbitals orthogonal to the ring plane) and a 'belt-like' aromatic structure (with p orbitals within the ring plane) yields a Mobius compound stabilized by its extended π system.
