This short review describes paths to superphanes with metal-stabilized cyclobutadiene and cyclopentadienone rings in a one-pot and stepwise fashion. The stepwise synthesis also led to a new class of belt-like systems with large rings composed of CpCo-stabilized cyclobutadiene rings connected with propane chains. Finally, our research yielded the first beltenes composed of alternating four- and eight-membered conjugated rings.
