title: Four-state switching characteristics of a gated molecular basket.
abstract: The development of working molecular devices relies on the ability to extrinsically modulate function via structure. We have found that gated molecular basket 1 can be reversibly interconverted among four unique structural states (see above). Controlling the relative population of these states, the recognition characteristics of the basket can be finely tuned.
