6,7‐Bismethoxy‐2,11‐dihydroxytetraphenylene ( 1 ), a novel building block of tetraphenylene‐derived macrocycles, was synthesized via palladium‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions and characterized by X‐ray diffraction. The relevant macrocyclic hosts derived from 1 have well‐defined structures with fixed conformations both in solution and solid state. They showed efficient and unique properties toward complexation with fullerenes C 60 and C 70 in toluene.
