Shuttling rates for neutral and charged [2]rotaxanes with rigid axles varying in lengths from 7.4 to 20.3 Å were found to be independent of the length of the axle, except when the distance was short enough to allow the ring to interact with both recognition sites which provided a short-cut mechanism that significantly lowered the energy barrier.
Zr(IV) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) UiO-68 and PCN-57, containing linkers triphenylene dicarboxylate (TPDC) and tetramethyl-triphenylene dicarboxylate (TTDC), respectively, were doped with an H shaped, tetracarboxylate linker that contains a [2]rotaxane molecular...
A [2]rotaxane linker was synthesized which combines an H-shaped axle containing four 3-carboxyphenyl groups and a macrocyclic wheel with two 4-pyridyl groups. Metal-organic framework materials were prepared with Cu and Zn ions X-ray structures show that the materials contain unique frameworks that are threaded solely due to the interpenetrated nature of the linker.
A unique hexacarboxylate linker was prepared on the basis of an interlocked [2]rotaxane motif. The linker contains four carboxylate groups attached to a rigid, H-shaped axle and two carboxylate units appended to a crown ether wheel. The resulting Zn II -based metal-organic framework material has a [a]
Methacrylated lignin was reacted with PH3(g) to prepare a phosphorus rich bio-based polymer containing PH/PH2 functional groups, which were converted to tertiary phosphine units via the phosphane-ene reaction. This represents...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
