The tetracationic cyclophane, cyclobis (paraquat‐p‐phenylene), also known as the little blue
box, constitutes a modular receptor that has facilitated the discovery of many host–guest …

Azobenzene derivatives due to their photo-and electroactive properties are an important
group of compounds finding applications in diverse fields. Due to the possibility of …

The organization of trisradical rotaxanes within the channels of a Zr6-based metal–organic
framework (NU-1000) has been achieved postsynthetically by solvent-assisted ligand …

A tristable [2] catenane, composed of a macrocyclic polyether incorporating 1, 5-
dioxynaphthalene (DNP) and tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) units along with a 4, 4′-bipyridinium …

We recently identified competitive formation of doubly interlocked [3] rotaxanes as the origin
of the non-linear variation in yield of [2] rotaxane with macrocycle size in the bipyridine …

The modulation of noncovalent bonding interactions by redox processes is a central theme
in the fundamental understanding of biological systems as well as being ripe for exploitation …

Abstract 'Impossible'rotaxanes, which are constituted by interlocked components without
obvious binding motifs, have attracted the interest of the mechanically interlocked molecules …

While controlling the wheel shuttling of prototype [2] rotaxanes has been readily achieved,
which promotes the development of intelligent supramolecular systems and materials, it …

A series of π-conjugated oligomeric viologens (COVs) whose viologen segments are
connected by phenyl or biphenyl units have been designed and synthesized. They exhibited …

Self-templating two-component coupling reactions allowed the isolation of two threaded
products with different molecular sizes: a lasso-type [1] rotaxane and a [c2] daisy chain …
