A pyridinium/anilinium [2]catenane that operates as an acid–base driven optical switch

A two-station [2]catenane containing a large macrocycle with two different recognition sites, one bis(pyridinium)ethane and one benzylanilinium, as well as a smaller DB24C8 ring was synthesized and characterized. 1H NMR spectroscopy showed that the DB24C8 ring can shuttle between the two recognition...
