“…12,15,16 This type of molecular rotator is assembled and packed by weaker intermolecular interactions (such as hydrogen bonds, van der Waals bonds and electrostatic force) and therefore, it is conducive to the dynamic motion of the building blocks under external stimuli, which may further lead to significant changes in molecular microstructure and macroscopic physical characteristics. [17][18][19][20] Notably, based on this characteristic, many molecular rotators, such as [Co(NCS) 2 (H 2 O) 2 (4-amino-3-chloropyridine) 2 ](18crown-6), 18 [(MeO-C 6 H 4 -NH 3 )(18-crown-6)](TFSA) (MeO-C 6 H 4 -NH 3 = 4-methoxyanilinium, TFSA = bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)ammonium), 19 [(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl)(18crown-6)]ReO 4 /ClO 4 , 21 [(2,6-diisopropylanilinium)(18-crown-6)] ClO 4 , 22 (MeO-C 6 H 4 -NH 3 )(18-crown-6)ReO 4 , 23 [(MeO-C 6 H 4 -NH 3 )(18-crown-6)][BF 4 ], 24 have so far been studied and reported for promising applications in intelligent switches, sensors, memorizers, transducers, and so on.…”
