Supporting Information General. All reactions dealing with air- and moisture sensitive compounds were carried out in a dry reaction vessel under nitrogen atmosphere. Water content in solvents was determined by Karl-Fisher water titrator. 1 H (400 MHz) and 13 C NMR (100 MHz) spectra were measured for a CDCl 3 solution of a sample and are reported in parts per million ( ) from internal tetramethylsilane or residual solvent peak. 31 P NMR (162 MHz) spectrum was measured for a CDCl 3 solution of a sample and chemical shifts are given relative to 85% H 3 PO 4, which is used as an external standard. IR spectrum (absorption) was reported in cm -1. Electro spray ionization time-of-flight mass (ESI-TOF MS) spectrum was recorded on a spectrometer in the positive mode. A sample was injected as a CH 2 Cl 2 /isopropanol solution. Matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization time-of-flight mass (MALDI-TOF MS) spectrum was obtained on a spectrometer in the positive reflection mode and at 20 kv acceleration voltage. Samples were prepared from a tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution by mixing a sample (1 mg/ml) and dithranol (1 mg/ml) in a 1:1 ratio. UV-vis and emission spectra were measured in CHCl 3 at room temperature. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammogram (DPV) were measured with a Pt electrode for 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane solution of a sample (1 mm) in the presence of an supporting electrolyte (Bu 4 NPF 6, 0.10 M) at room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere. The scan rates of 100 and 20 mv s 1 were employed for CV and DPV, respectively. After the measurement, ferrocene was added to the sample solution, and the potentials were calibrated with respect to the ferrocene/ferrocenium couple (Fc/Fc + ). Materials. Unless otherwise noted, commercially available materials were used without purification. Dichloromethane (CH 2 Cl 2 ) was distilled successively from P 2 O 5 and K 2 CO 3 and stored over molecular sieves. Toluene, 1,5-cyclooctadiene (cod), and acryronitrile were distilled from CaH 2 and stored over molecular sieves. Triphenylphosphine (PPh 3 ) was recrystallized from hot ethanol.

Synthesis of [6]CPP. A suspension of 2a (0.21 g, 0.06 mmol) and XeF 2 (40.6 mg, 0.24 mmol) in toluene (60 ml) was heated at 90 C for 12 h under nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting suspension was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a crude mixture. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane/ch 2 Cl 2 = 1:1), and subsequent preparative gel permeation chromatography using chloroform as the eluent giving [6]CPP (11.0 mg, 40%) as an orange solid. 1 H NMR (CDCl 3, 400 MHz) 7.63 (s, 24H, Ar-H); 13 C NMR (CDCl 3, 100 MHz) 127.03 (CH), 134.90 (4 o ); HRMS (MALDI-TOF) m/z: calcd for C 36 H 24 [M] + : 456.1873, found 456.1908. Synthesis of [8]CPP. The suspension of 2b (36.1 mg, 0.01 mmol) and Br 2 (2.1 L, 0.04 mmol) in toluene (10 ml) was heated at 90 o C for 12 h under a nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting suspension was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a crude mixture. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography hexane/ch 2 Cl 2 = 1/1) to give [8]CPP (4.5 mg, 74%) as a yellow solid. 1 H NMR (CDCl 3, 400 MHz) 7.49 (s, 32H, Ar-H); 13 C NMR (CDCl 3, 100 MHz) 127.61 (CH), 137.81 (4 o ); HRMS (MALDI-TOF) m/z calcd for C 48 H 32 [M] + : 609.2499, found 609.2515. The NMR and MS spectra were consistent with our previous literature data. 8 S5 --

Synthesis of [10]CPP. The suspension of 2c (37.6 mg, 0.01 mmol) and Br 2 (2.1 L, 0.04 mmol) in toluene (10 ml) was heated at 90 o C for 12 h under a nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting suspension was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a crude mixture. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography hexane/ch 2 Cl 2 = 1/1), and subsequent preparative gel permeation chromatography with chloroform as an eluent to give [10]CPP (5.7 mg, 75%) as a pale yellow solid. 1 H NMR (CDCl 3, 400 MHz) 7.56 (s, 40H, Ar-H); 13 C NMR (CDCl 3, 100 MHz) 127.51 (CH), 138.29 (4 o ); HRMS (MALDI-TOF) m/z calcd for C 60 H 40 [M] + : 760.3125, found 760.3077. The NMR and MS spectra were consistent with our previous literature data. 4 References (1) Hill, G. S.; Irwin, M. J.; Levy, C. J.; Rendina, L. M.; Puddephatt, R. J.; Andersen, R. A.; McLean, L.
