2-Dimensional molecular wiring based on toroidal delocalization of hexaarylbenzene.
A series of hexaarylbenzenes having two peripheral thienyliron substituents has been prepared, and it is revealed that the two metal centres communicate with each other through toroidal delocalization among the peripheral aromatic groups.
