A quaterthiophene-based rotaxane: synthesis, spectroscopy, and self-assembly at surfaces.
Threaded molecular wires are shown to feature tunable properties. A new rotaxane based on a quaterthiophene threaded through a single β-cyclodextrin exhibits delocalization of the aromatic system that is also extended onto the central phenyl rings of the m-terphenylene end-groups. The rotaxane can u...
