Description
Summary:The synthesis of interlocking molecules such as rotaxanes and catenanes is a branch of supramolecular chemistry of particular current interest. The aim of this work was to assess the viability of the synthesis of an organometallic rotaxane in which the transition metal is covalently bonded to a carbon atom of an alkyl group. The formation of a rotaxane using the host cyclophane, cyclobis (paraquat-pphenylene), formed by a template effect, has been investigated using our chiral organometallic polyether.
