Counterion-Induced Translational Isomerism in a Bistable [2]Rotaxane
journal contribution
posted on 2004-11-11, 00:00 authored by Bo W. Laursen, Sune Nygaard, Jan O. Jeppesen, J. Fraser StoddartTranslational isomerization can be induced by changing the anions associated with a bistable rotaxane in which the tetracationic cyclophane
(blue box), cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene), encircles a dumbbell component containing bispyrrolotetrathiafulvalene (green) and a dioxynaphthalene (red) recognition sites. The rotaxane was isolated as both its hexafluorophosphate and tris(tetrachlorobenzenediolato)phosphate(v)
(TRISPHAT-) salts. Photophysical measurements and NMR spectroscopy carried out in acetone (CD3COCD3) and acetonitrile (CD3CN) solutions
reveal that the much larger TRISPHAT- anion favors predominantly the encirclement of the green site by the blue box.
