Room for expansion : A versatile protocol for the synthesis of a new generation of strained cross‐conjugated macrocycles (expanded radialenes) has been achieved. This method uses the Sonogashira cross‐coupling reaction to prepare expanded radialenes, bisradialenes, and radiaannulenes. Preliminary electronic, redox, and structural characterization of the macrocycles are presented.
