Hindered fluorescence quenching in an insulated molecular wire.

A [3]rotaxane 2 within 1(2) consisting of an anionic phenylene ethynylene dumbbell 2(4-) threaded through two cationic cyclophanes 1(2+) has been prepared using aqueous Glaser coupling. Stern-Volmer analysis of the fluorescence quenching using three different electron-acceptors (methyl viologen 13(2...
