Abstract
Whilst the synthesis of ferrocene-bridged molecular boxes is hampered by rotamer effects associated with the ferrocene unit, it is now shown that, with a degree of preorganisation, macrocyclisation can be an ef ficient and viable process for the synthesis of an asymmetric redox-ac tive molecular box, without the expected formation of catenanes and hi gher order macrocycles.
