Anion and pH dependent molecular motion by a halogen bonding [2]rotaxane
A bistable [2]rotaxane containing a halogen bonding benzimidazole–iodotriazole station directly conjugated to a naphthalimide station axle component is demonstrated to undergo macrocycle shuttling translocation only upon both protonation and chloride anion recognition. A naked-eye detectable colour...
