title: A non-covalent strategy to prepare electron donor-acceptor rotaxanes.
abstract: A straightforward non-covalent synthetic strategy for producing donor-acceptor rotaxanes is reported. Femtosecond absorption spectroscopy illustrates that the use of this strategy gives rise to supramolecular chromophores with different electron transfer behavior.
