Square feat : The synthesis, isolation, and characterization of five novel bisterpyridine‐based metallomacrocycles, possessing a folded tetrameric configuration is reported (see figure). The initial dimeric building block with the stable linear {tpy‐Ru II ‐tpy} connectivity circumvents the formation of the thermodynamically favored molecular triangles.
