Sulfur‐Containing Carbon Nanorings whose phenylene and thienylene units are alternately connected within the ring structure, such as in cyclo‐1,4‐phenylene‐2′,5′‐thienylene (CPT), show remarkable photophysical and crystallographic properties, as described by K. Itami et al. in their Communication on page 159 ff. The illustrated picture (provided by Haruko Hirukawa) represents a [4]CPT molecule, which forms a truncated cone shape and interesting tubular stacking in the solid state, similar to onion rings.
