A new type of "Geländer" molecule based on a ortho-tetraphenylene core is presented. The central para-quaterphenyl backbone is wrapped by a 4,4'-di((Z)-styryl)-1,1'-biphenyl banister, with its aryl rings covalently attached to all four phenyl rings of the backbone. The resulting helical chiral bicyclic architecture consists exclusively of sp2 -hybridized carbon atoms. The target structure was assembled by expanding the central ortho-tetraphenylene subunit with the required additional phenyl rings followed by a twofold macrocyclization
