Synthesis and Characterization of a Two-Station Two-Gate Calix[6]arene-Based [2]Catenane.

ABSTRACT: The design, construction, and operation of devices and machines at the molecular scale using the bottom-up approach captivates a lot of interest in nanoscience. Particularly intriguing are interlocked molecular architectures, which are ideal candidates for these aims. [n]Pseudorotaxanes, [n]rotaxanes, and [n]catenanes serve as versatile prototypes for constructing molecular machines because they can be engineered to execute a diverse range of functions, including mechanical-like movements in response to chemical, photochemical, or electrochemical stimuli. The study explores the synthesis and characterization of a two-station two-gate calix[6]arene-based [2]catenane. Building on prior work with calix[6]arene-based Mechanically Interlocked Molecules (MIMs), this research integrates two funct
