Abstract
The in forms of molecular iron maidens are known for their unique ultrashort interaction between the apical hydrogen atom or its small substituent and the surface of the benzene ring. It is generally believed that this forced ultrashort X⋯π contact is associated with high steric hindrance, which is responsible for specific properties of iron maiden molecules. The main aim of this article is to investigate the influence of significant charge enrichment or depletion of the benzene ring on the characteristics of the ultrashort C-X⋯π contact in iron maiden molecules. For this purpose, three strongly electron-donating (-NH2) or strongly electron-withdrawing (-CN) groups were inserted into the benzene ring of in-[34,10][7]metacyclophane and its halogenated (X = F, Cl, Br) derivatives. It is shown that, despite such extremely electron-donating or electron-accepting properties, the considered iron maiden molecules surprisingly reveal quite high resistance to changes in electronic properties.
