Anion induced and inhibited circumrotation of a [2]catenane?

Chemical Communications Pub Date: 2008-01-30 DOI: 10.1039/B719304A

Abstract

The first example of a catenane capable of performing circumrotation via an anion switching methodology is described; of particular interest is a conformational locking mechanism which results from chloride coordination in the catenane binding cavity.
