The crystal growth of 1 4+ •(SbF6 -)4 was unsuccessful despite numerous attempts. However, single crystals of 1 4+ •(SbCl6 -)4 (Fig. ) suitable for X-ray crystallographic analysis were obtained by substituting the counterions. The structure revealed two octaphyrinoid rings with distinct geometries: one planar and the other bowl-shaped. This asymmetry aligns with the tendency of antiaromatic molecules to reduce symmetry via structural distortion, thereby lowering their energy. The catenane topology of 1 4+ •(SbCl6 -)4
