Abstract

Abstract: The mutual molecular recognition expressed between two classes of compounds has led to the self-assembly of a range of [2] catenanes, composed of cyclic polyethers intercepted by n-electron donors, and a range of [n]-pseudorotaxanes, composed of similar acyclic polyethers, and various tetracationic cyclophanes. These molecular self-assembly processes rely upon the recognition between (i) n-electron rich and n-electron deficient ...
