title: A double-leg donor-acceptor molecular elevator: new insight into controlling the distance of two platforms.
abstract: A double-leg elevator with an electron-rich anthracene moiety at the platformlike component and an electron-deficient naphthalenediimide unit in the middle of a double-leg riglike component was prepared through "click chemistry", in which the reversible elevator movement between different levels could be controlled upon the addition of base and acid.
