Dual-controllable stepwise supramolecular interconversions.
A new unsymmetric guest compound comprising ferrocene and azobenzene moieties was synthesized and can form a host-guest system with beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) complexed. The complexation stoichiometries and sites of the ensembles can be selectively controlled by reversible redox and photoirradiation.
