Dual Stimulus Switching of a [2]Catenane in Water

Journal Article · · Angewandte Chemie (International Edition)

The controllable mechanical movement of either the polyether macrocycle or the tetracationic cyclophane in a doubly bistable water-soluble [2]catenane can be accomplished by using orthogonal external stimuli—redox and amine/acid, respectively—in aqueous media (see picture).
