(Figure Presented) When push comes to shove: A switchable [2]rotaxane has been developed in which the binding of a metal ion (e.g. Cd2+, see scheme) to a bis(picolyl)amine fragment that acts as one of the stoppers induces a shift of the macrocyclic component along the thread from one binding site (green) to another weaker binding site (orange).
