Sumario: | [Image: see text] Stacked-ring aromaticity arising from the close stacking of antiaromatic π-systems has recently received considerable attention. Here, we realize stacked-ring aromaticity via a rational supramolecular approach. A nanocapsule composed of bent polyaromatic amphiphiles was employed to encapsulate several antiaromatic norcorrole Ni(II) complexes (NCs) in water. The resulting micellar capsules display high stability toward heating and concentration change. The encapsulation resulted in the appearance of a broad absorption band in the near-infrared region, which is characteristic of norcorroles with close face-to-face stacking. Importantly, a meso-isopropyl NC, which does not exhibit π-stacking even in a concentrated solution or the crystalline phase, adopted π-stacking with stacked-ring aromaticity in the supramolecular micellar capsule. |
