Molecular and Supramolecular Self-Assembly Processes
Abstract A number of nanometre-scale molecular assemblies, based on the [2]rotaxane architecture, have been synthesised, via self-assembly processes, from molecular components comprising simple building blocks. The cyclic component of these structures, namely the π-electron deficient cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) cyclophane, is able to position itself at a number of different locations on the dumbbell-shaped components, which comprise a linear polyether chain intercepted by two or three different π-donor units. By effecting electrochemical control over the translational isomerism present in these [2]rotaxanes, we hope to demonstrate their potential as molecular switching devices.
