Post-assembly processing of [2]rotaxanes

TL;DR: The concept of using [2]rotaxanes that carry one or more surrogate stoppers which can subsequently be converted chemically into other structural units, resulting in the formation of new interlocked molecular compounds, is introduced and exemplified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards a molecular abacus

TL;DR: The solid state and solution structures of the 1 : 1 complex formed between the cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) tetracationic cyclophane and 1,5-dimethoxynaphthalene has led to the successful design and characterisation by X-ray crystallography of a prototype for the construction of a molecular abacus as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Redox-induced ring shuttling and evidence for folded structures in long and flexible two-station rotaxanes

TL;DR: In this article, two dumbbell-shaped rotaxanes with tetraarylmethane type stoppers, one hydrophobic and another hydrophilic, have been synthesized using template-directed protocols.
Journal ArticleDOI

Powering a Supramolecular Machine with a Photoactive Molecular Triad

TL;DR: It is shown, in a wholly artificial system, that aphotocurrent is gated by light, the wavelength of which is specifically tuned to the maximum absorption of the light-absorbingporphyrinchromophoreofamoleculartriad (Fig-ure1a).
