title: Self-sorting under solvent-free conditions: one-pot synthesis of a hetero[3]rotaxane.
abstract: The one-pot synthesis of a hetero[3]rotaxane, assembled from five different molecular components under solvent-free conditions, through "self-sorting" of the bead and stopper units during the threading and stoppering processes, is reported.
