Engineering entanglement: controlling the formation of polycatenanes and polyrotaxanes using π interactions (2013)
Journal Article
Boer, S. A., Hawes, C. S., & Turner, D. R. (in press). Engineering entanglement: controlling the formation of polycatenanes and polyrotaxanes using π interactions. Chemical Communications, 50(9), 1125-1127. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3cc48802k

A reproducible metallocyclic motif containing amino-acid functionalised aromatic diimides has been employed to demonstrate remarkable control over entanglement topologies. [2]-Catenane and pseudo-rotaxane units give rise to 1D → 2D polycatenation, th...
