The self-assembly of branched [n]rotaxanes—the first step towards dendritic rotaxanes

David B. Amabilino, Peter R. Ashton, Martin Blohradský, Françisco M. Raymo and J. Fraser Stoddart


The self-assembly, by means of a slippage procedure, of three novel rotaxanes incorporating, respectively, one, two and three bisparaphenylene-34-crown-10 macrocyclic components and a single branched component, consisting of three bipyridinium units attached covalently to a 1,3,5-trisubstituted benzene central core and each bearing at its other end a substituted tetraarylmethane blocking group, is described.
