Abstract
Molecules in suits: Supramolecular assistance leads to the self-assembly of a mechanically interlocked compound called a suit[2]ane (see picture). Two bisformyldipyrido[24]crown-8 rings (red) recognize and encircle two secondary ammonium ion centers on a rigid linear scaffold (blue for the most part in the picture) with a bulky midriff, followed by the dynamic formation of four imine bonds involving two p-phenylenediamine molecules as linkers. (Figure Presented).
