Self-assembly of an amphiphilic
The template-directed synthesis of a [2]rotaxane, in which a pi-electron deficient ring component-cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene)-is assembled around a pi-electron rich asymmetric monopyrrolotetrathiafulvalene unit on the rod section of an amphiphilic dumbbell component that is terminated by a hydrophilic dendritic stopper at one end and a hydrophobic tetraarylmethane stopper at the other end, is reported.
