Abstract

Two series of oligorotaxanes R and R′ that contain− CH2NH2+ CH2–recognition sites in their dumbbell components have been synthesized employing template-directed protocols.[24] Crown-8 rings self-assemble by a clipping strategy around each and every recognition site using equimolar amounts of 2, 6-pyridinedicarboxaldehyde and tetraethyleneglycol bis (2-aminophenyl) ether to efficiently provide up to a [20] rotaxane.
