Quantitative formation of [4]pseudorotaxanes from two rods and two bis-macrocycles incorporating porphyrinic plates between the rings.
[4]pseudorotaxanes consisting of two very large coordinating bis-macrocycles and rigid rods incorporating two side-by-side chelates have been obtained quantitatively utilising the gathering and threading effect of copper(I); the assemblies obtained are several nanometres long and they contain two face-to-face zinc porphyrins which will be used to complex various organic substrates.
