Dynamic topomerization of Cu(I)-complexed pseudorotaxanes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Feb 14;49(13):1261-3. doi: 10.1039/c2cc37724a. Epub 2012 Dec 11.

Abstract

Dynamic molecular motions resulting from the folding of a flexible macrocyclic component in a Cu(I)-complexed pseudorotaxane have been evidenced by variable temperature NMR experiments. The proposed conformational changes are also supported by the X-ray crystal structures of the compounds and computational studies.
