Iodide-induced shuttling of a halogen- and hydrogen-bonding two-station rotaxane.

The first example of utilizing halogen-bonding anion recognition to facilitate molecular motion in an interlocked structure is described. A halogen-bonding and hydrogen-bonding bistable rotaxane is prepared and demonstrated to undergo shuttling of the macrocycle component from the hydrogen-bonding s...
