The synthesis of shape-persistent macrocycles based on the phenyl-ethynyl backbone containing various extraannular alkyl side chains is described. Although compound solubility increases with increasing size of the side groups, decreasing the solvent polarity induces aggregation of the rings by nonspecific interactions. This was investigated by proton NMR spectroscopy. The magnitude of aggregation can be varied by using solvent mixtures of different hexane content, supporting the model of a solvophobic effect. From 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene solution the macrocycle 1c adsorbs at the surface of highly oriented pyrolitic graphite (HOPG). The two-dimensional order of the structure was investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) revealing the formation of a two-dimensional lattice of p1(2)mm symmetry with lattice parameters A = 3.6 nm, B = 5.7 nm, and Gamma = 74 degrees.
