Reported here is the comprehensive investigation on the formation of biphen[n]arenes by tailoring reaction modules. Five new macrocyclic arenes and four oligomers were synthesized by the condensation of monomers possessing different multimethoxyphenyl reaction modules and paraformaldehyde. We proved that the number and sites of methoxy on reaction modules greatly affected the reaction activity, shape, and connection mode of macrocycles. Moreover, the triangular and saddle-shaped configuration of macrocycles were revealed by single crystal structures. The results provided a typical and fundamental guidance in designing new macrocyclic arenes.
