Rotaxane Formation under Thermodynamic Control
Thermodynamic control operates in the synthesis of a [2]rotaxane based upon the dibenzylammonium ion/crown ether recognition motif. When dibenzo[24]crown-8 is added to an acetonitrile solution containing a diimine dumbbell-like component, the dynamic ...

A Mechanical Planar Chiral Rotaxane Induces Single-Handed Helicity in a Twisted Perylene Diimide. [PDF]
A mechanical planar chiral rotaxane (Rmp) is used to induce single‐handed helical chirality (M) in a perylene diimide chromophore, resulting in persistent circular dichroism (CD) and circularly polarised luminescence (CPL). ABSTRACT The twisting of chromophores such as perylene diimides (PDIs) into helical structures affords chiroptical properties from

Dual stimuli-responsive rotaxane-branched dendrimers with reversible dimension modulation
Mechanically interlocked molecules are extensively applied as artificial molecular machines but rotaxane-branched dendrimers are rarely explored because of synthetic challenges.

Force-Induced Control of Circularly Polarized Luminescence With Rotaxane Architecture. [PDF]
Force‐induced reversible on/off switching of circularly polarized luminescence is achieved with a rotaxane‐based supramolecular mechanophore. The mechanophore, featuring a chiral helicene luminophore, is incorporated as a first network cross‐linker into a double‐network organogel.

Rotaxane-Based Mechanophores Enable Polymers with Mechanically Switchable White Photoluminescence
Three mechanoresponsive polyurethane elastomers whose blue, green, and orange photoluminescence can be reversibly turned on by mechanical force were prepared and combined to create a blend that exhibits deformation-induced white photoluminescence.

Mechanically Interlocked Molecules: A Supramolecular Computational Picture of Rotaxane-Based Switches, Shuttles, and Tristable Devices in Solution. [PDF]
This contribution highlights recent studies focused on mechanically interlocked molecules. By combining density functional theory‐converged wavefunctions with highly effective real‐space algorithms for visualizing and quantifying covalent bonds and noncovalent interactions, a first‐principles description of the driving forces governing molecular motion,

Hydroxy groups enhance [2]rotaxane anion binding selectivity [PDF]
We report the synthesis of two [2]rotaxanes containing an interlocked three dimensional binding cavity formed from a pyridinium bis(amide) axle component containing two phenol donors, and an isophthalamide based macrocycle.

Synthesis of a [2]rotaxane through first- and second-sphere coordination [PDF]
In an effort to expand the application of a new template from interpenetrated to interlocked molecular species, we report the synthesis of a new [2]rotaxane by means of both first- and second-sphere coordination of a palladium(II) dichloride ...

Rotaxane-based transition metal complexes: Effect of the mechanical bond on structure and electronic properties [PDF]
Early work by Sauvage revealed that mechanical bonding alters the stability and redox properties of their original catenane metal complexes. However, despite the importance of controlling metal ion properties for a range of applications, these effects ...
