Notes:
Four catenanes (1-4) and the corresponding tetracationic monocycles 5-8 are synthesized. X-ray structural analyses allow a prediction of the mobility (circumrotation) of the „interlocked“ rings in the catenanes, which is proven by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. An unexpected order in the crystal packing of 6 is demonstrated. (E/Z) isomerization in one ring influences the second ring of 1-4 and inversely. An existing obstacle inside the cavity of the switchable macrocycle can block this isomerization completely.
