To summarize, it has been demonstrated that the unique ability of paracyclophanetetraene to accumulate charge is not associated with the transition from local to global (anti)aromaticity following Hückel's rule, as suggested in the literature. Instead, it is linked with its capacity to counteract the electrostatic repulsion through the π-resonance stabilization effects resulting from the superposition of the ionic Clar forms containing varying numbers of π-sextets (cf. Clar's rule). The case of PCT and its anions reveals that global aromaticity in macrocyclic compounds may not stem from the resonance of the kekulean structures but from the superposition of the resonance forms that already possess local π-aromaticity. The latter, however, may be hardly accessible from the nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, since the local circulations of π-electrons are overshadowed by much stronger, yet less chemically meaningful, global ring currents. This fact may have broader implication for a better understanding of the origins of exceptional thermodynamic stability and the electron-transport and energy-harnessing capabilities of π-conjugated macrocycles, especially in the context of their applicability in the design of new materials for storing energy in batteries. In our laboratory, we work on the development of protocols facilitating studies of the π-resonance structures and chemical bonding patterns of poly-and macrocyclic systems regardless of their topology and size.
