to adjust their spin states to triplet, satisfying Baird aromaticity. In contrast, the stronger interactions with SbF6 -stabilize antiaromatic macrocycles in 1-Zn 4+ •(SbF6 -)4. In the crystal lattice of 1-Zn showing clockwise currents in the triplet state, further corroborating Baird aromaticity (Supplementary Fig. ). These findings support the contribution of proposed TT state of 1-Zn 4+ •(SbCl6 -)4 in the crystal.
