| Abstract: | Two stable core‐modified rubyrins bearing one and two dithienylethene (DTE) units ( 1 and 2 ) have been synthesized. With one “closed‐form” DTE unit, 1 shows aromaticity associated with its conjugated circuit of 26 π‐electrons. In contrast, rubyrin 2 containing one “open‐form” DTE unit has nonaromatic properties. |
