Abstract
The bisfuran-containing crown ether 8 has been incorporated, along wit h bis(paraquat-p-phenylene), into a [2]catenane 2.4PF(6) using a self- assembly approach. The presence of the furan units in 8 has a disrupti ve influence upon the hydrogen bonding interactions involving this cro wn ether receptor and the paraquat dication. The perturbation of the h ydrogen bonding interactions within the furan-containing [2]catenane 2 .4PF(6) results in changes in the dynamic properties of the relative r ing motions compared with those observed for the molecular components of the [2]catenane 1.4PF(6).
