title: Reversible formation of a poly[3]rotaxane based on photo dimerization of an anthracene-capped [3]rotaxane.
abstract: We prepared a poly[3]rotaxane consisting of a ''topologically linked polymer backbone'' in one pot from readily available, modular building blocks via a dynamic polymerization strategy based on reversible anthracene dimerization.
