- dialkylammonium axles. The formation of pseudo[2]rotaxane, pseudo[3]rotaxane, and pseudo[4]rotaxane by threading one, two, and three, respectively, calix-wheels of 6 has been studied by 1D and 2D NMR, DOSY, and ESI-FT-ICR MS/MS experiments. The use of a directional alkylbenzylammonium axle led to the
- ]arene derivative 1 with bisammonium axles (e.g., 22+). In addition, we have also shown that the bis-calix[6]arene 1 was able to form pseudo[3]rotaxane architectures (e.g., 52+ in Figure 2) by double-threading with dialkylammonium axles [28]. With the aim to increase the complexity of our system we have
- at 5.13 ppm and 4.96 ppm, two new broad singlets in a 1:2 ratio emerged at 5.08 and 5.06 ppm attributable to the benzylic methylene groups of the central benzene core of 6 in the double-threaded (7+)26 pseudo[3]rotaxane (Scheme 2). These data suggested that in a 1:2 mixture of 6 and 7+·TFPB− in CDCl3

- written data could be read out even after waiting for 12 h. Besides data storage, a substantial challenge of AMMs is the transfer of molecular motion into a useful macroscopic output. An example of rotaxanes on a solid support which could achieve this is shown in Figure 19 [96]. The [3]rotaxane 21
- switching state of a system as a whole need to be considered for the design and operation of an AMM. In addition to the variety of TTF-based rotaxane shuttles, we recently reported a [3]rotaxane in which the pirouetting motion of wheels can be controlled by electrochemical switching [98]. Figure 21 shows
- the [3]rotaxane 23 which bears two cofacially oriented TTF crown ethers on a divalent ammonium axle. The distance between the wheels is convenient for TTF-dimer interactions. In the non-switched neutral state of both TTFs, the wheels adopt a syn co-conformation caused by weak non-covalent interactions

- -flat wheels, such as calixarenes or cyclodextrins, are threaded along an axle to give a pseudo[3]rotaxane architecture V–VII (Figure 2), where three sequential stereoisomers can arise.
