Influence of axle length on the rate and mechanism of shuttling in rigid H-shaped [2]rotaxanes

Abstract

= 1) to allow the crown ether to simultaneously interact with both recognition sites providing a short-cut mechanism which could lower the energy barrier. This notion is supported by DFT calculations and solid-state characterization of model compounds that mimic possible transition states.
