Abstract

Fast and simple: Rotaxanes and pseudorotaxanes are synthesized by simply melting their wheel and axle components for one minute. The complementarity between the cavity of the wheel and the spatial demands of the stopper groups was designed to permit a temperature-controlled “slipping off” process in solution.
