A new macrocyclic arene, dibenzofuran[3]arene, was synthesized, which could be conveniently transformed to an O -doped aromatic belt with a rigid ring-shaped structure and deep cavity. Moreover, the O -doped aromatic belt also showed a high HOMO energy and a narrow HOMO-LUMO gap experimentally and theoretically.
