With the rise of artificial molecular machines, control of motion on the nanoscale has
become a major contemporary research challenge. Tetrathiafulvalenes (TTFs) are one of the …

Are they still electrifying? Electrochemically switchable rotaxanes are well known for their
ability to efficiently undergo changes of (co-) conformation and properties under redox …

A molecular shuttle consisting of a dibenzo-24-crown-8 macrocycle and an axle with two
degenerate peripheral triazolium stations, a central dibenzyl ammonium station, and two …

A tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)-containing crown ether macrocycle with Cs symmetry was
designed to implement planar chirality into a redox-active [2] rotaxane. The directionality of …

In nature, molecular environments in proteins can sterically protect and stabilize reactive
species such as organic radicals through non-covalent interactions. Here, we report a near …

A series of multistimuli-responsive [2] rotaxanes with a naphthalimide-functionalized
macrocycle threaded through an axle containing a photochromic spiropyran (SP) or …

Reversible oxidation reactions in electrochemically switchable oligorotaxanes with
tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) decorated 24‐crown‐8 ether wheels generate intramolecular mixed …

From a library of five crown ether macrocycles with different ring sizes and redox-active
moieties, such as tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and naphthalene dimiide (NDI), directional …

In this study, the crown/ammonium [3] rotaxane R2 is reported which allows a switchable
synchronisation of wheel pirouetting motions. The rotaxane is composed of a dumbbell …

Weakly coordinating anions (WCAs) have attracted much attention in recent years due to
their ability to stabilise highly reactive cations. It may well be argued, however, that a …
