title: Non-aggregational aromatic oligoamide macrocycles.
abstract: Attaching peripheral amide groups to the backbone of cyclic aromatic oligoamides 1 leads to new macrocycles 2 that show drastically changed behavior including modest yields of formation and no tendency to aggregate while maintaining a rigid backbone and a defined, guest-binding internal cavity.
