| Abstract: | The carbon–carbon (C?C) bond activation of n]cycloparaphenylenes (n]CPPs) by a transition‐metal complex is herein reported. The Pt0 complex Pt(PPh3)4 regioselectively cleaves two C?C σ bonds of 5] CPP and 6]CPP to give cyclic dinuclear platinum complexes in high yields. Theoretical calculations reveal that the relief of ring strain drives the reaction. The cyclic complex was further transformed into a cyclic diketone by using a CO insertion reaction. |
