Abstract
The syntheses of 2,11‐dithia[3,3]orthometacyclophane (5) and 2,11‐dithia[3,3]orthoparacyclophane (6) by dithiol‐dibromide coupling are described. Whereas the yield of 5 is not significantly affected by the substrate pairing, that of 6 is. Both compounds exhibit a temperature‐dependent ^1^H‐NMR spectrum. An energy barrier of 11.0 ± 0.2 kcal/mol (45.7 ± 0.8 kJ/mol) has been calculated for 5, but that of 6 was too low to be determined. Slightly contrasting results were obtained from two different molecular mechanics programs for the relative energies of the six limiting conformations of 5. Crystal structure determinations of 5 and 6 have been carried out, and the conformational behavior of 5 and 6 in solution and in the solid state is discussed.

## Abstract The title compound 5 was obtained from 2,2′,3,3′‐tetramethylbiphenyl in a multi‐step reaction sequence leading to the bis(propellane). X‐ray structure analysis proved the identity of bis(propellane). In the solid state the molecule possesses roughly a twofold symmetry axis perpendicular
