The genesis of a new range of interlocked molecules

Peter T. Glink, Cesare Schiavo, J. Fraser Stoddart and David J. Williams


Secondary dialkylammonium ions self-assemble with suitably sized macrocyclic polyethers, such as the well-known dibenzo-24-crown-8 and bis-p-phenylene-34-crown-10, into pseudorotaxane superstructures in (a) solution, (b) the solid state and (c) the gas phase.
