The hitherto broadest tetrafunctionalized molecular ribbons (see below) have been synthesized by an iterative synthetic strategy. Such multiple biphenylophanes usually adopt a meander‐type conformation and can be used as cyclization precursors in the synthesis of extended nanometer‐size tube‐shaped molecules.
