Marriage of Inorganic and Organic Building Blocks for the Assembly of Rotaxanes

Take this ring …︁ Hybrid organic–inorganic rotaxanes can be prepared using a thread incorporating an alkyl ammonium functionality to template the self‐assembly of an inorganic wheel cluster. This approach was used to assemble a range of examples, including a system combining two rings and two thread...

Description
Summary:Take this ring …︁ Hybrid organic–inorganic rotaxanes can be prepared using a thread incorporating an alkyl ammonium functionality to template the self‐assembly of an inorganic wheel cluster. This approach was used to assemble a range of examples, including a system combining two rings and two threads (see picture; C gray, H white, O red, Cu orange, Cr blue‐gray, N blue, F light blue).
