title: Foldamer-tuned switching kinetics and metastability of [2]rotaxanes.
abstract: Slip sliding away: foldamers can function as modular stoppers to regulate the slippage and de-slippage of pseudorotaxanes and the switching kinetics and metastability of bistable rotaxanes. By simply changing the solvent or the length of the hydrogen-bonded foldamer, the lifetime of the metastable co-conformation state can be increased dramatically, from several minutes to as long as several days.
