Electrochemical properties of 3,5-diphenylaniline units encapsulated within a crown ether. Effects of the macrocycle's aromatic functionality and ring size
This Letter describes a series of [2]rotaxanes featuring a 3,5-diphenylaniline terminus in their dumbbell-shaped component and crown ethers as the macrocyclic component, prepared through imine formation and hydrogen bond - guided self-assembly. Electroche
Preparation and photochemical properties of [2] rotaxanes containing an aniline moiety encapsulated by crown ethers
This paper describes preparation of rotaxanes having an aniline moiety in the axle and crown ethers as wheels through an imine formation reaction and hydrogen-bond-guided self-assembly. UV-vis and emission measurements of the rotaxanes show that both abso
