Linear and rectangular [n]rotaxanes were synthesized by template-directed clipping of heterocrown ether components onto the dumbbell-shaped molecules containing different dialkylammonium recognition sites. The effect of the structure of the dialkylammonium sites on the clipping efficiency was investigated, and selective clipping led to formation of a rectangular [4]rotaxane.

Macrocyclic molecule-based host-guest systems, which provide contributions for the design and construction of functional supramolecular structures, have gained increasing attention in recent years. In particular, platinum(II) metallacycle-based host-guest systems provide opportunities for chemical scientists to prepare novel materials with various functions and structures due to the well-defined shapes and cavity sizes of platinum(II) metallacycles. However, the research on platinum(II) metallacycle-based host-guest systems has been given little attention.

A novel halogen bonding (XB) bis(iodotriazole)-imidazolium motif is incorporated into the axle component of a [2]rotaxane a discrete chloride anion template directed clipping methodology. H NMR anion titration experiments reveal the interlocked host is capable of strong halide and sulfate oxoanion binding in competitive aqueous-organic CDCl/CDOD/DO (45 : 45 : 10 v/v) solvent mixtures. In comparison to a hydrogen bonding rotaxane analogue, which exhibited no pronounced selectivity between Cl, I and SO, the axle iodo-triazole donor motifs of the XB rotaxane modulate the anion recognition preference towards the lighter halides Cl ≈ Br > SO > I.

The entrapment of squaraine (SQ) within a molecular container to form rotaxane has been shown to improve the dye stability and the fluorescence proficiency inside the mitochondria. The macrocycle provides shelter and protects the near-infrared (NIR) SQ chromophore from nucleophilic attacks made by the exposed thiol of Cys-containing mitochondrial proteins and mitochondrial glutathione. Herein a microwave-assisted template-directed clipping reaction on low-loading 2-chlorotrityl chloride resin is used to develop an NIR unsymmetrical squaraine rotaxane in high quantum yield.

Supramolecular chemistry and self-assembly provide a valuable chance to understand the complicated topological structures on a molecular level. Two types of classical mechanically interlocked molecules, rotaxanes and catenanes, possess non-covalent mechanical bonds and have attracted more attention not only in supramolecular chemistry but also in the fields of materials science, nanotechnology and bioscience. In the past decades, the template-directed clipping reaction based on imine chemistry has become one of the most efficient methods for the construction of functionalized rotaxanes and catenanes.

Tetraphenylethene (TPE) with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior as a popular backbone is applied widely in the construction of functional supramolecular systems. In this work, a TPE-based linear molecule having amide and amine units is synthesized. Its ammonium template is used to construct the N-hetero crown ether-based [2]rotaxane by the template-directed clipping approach.
