New switchable [2]pseudorotaxanes formed by pyridine N-oxide derivatives with diamide-based macrocycles.
Pyridine N-oxide derivatives are capable of formation of stable [2]pseudorotaxanes with diamide-based macrocycles in solution and in the solid state, and their dethreading/rethreading movements can be easily controlled by acid-base stimuli.
