Yet another feat for the Grubbs catalyst : Reactions with 1 a , b followed by hydrogenations give 2 a , b . The sizeable cavities of 2 , which were characterized crystallographically, allow for rapid Cl‐Rh‐CO rotation in solution. Reactions with ArCCLi give ArCC–Rh–CO species; when the aryl group is sufficiently large, it is confined between two macrocycles, blocking rotation.
