Abstract
Picking up the thread: The macrocycle bis-p-xylyl[26]crown-6 is capable of forming pseudorotaxane-like structures with single, nonconjugated urea or amide moieties when assisted by templating Na+ ions (see example). By using this approach, rotaxanes were synthesized with glycine residues or the repeating unit of nylon-6,6 as key components in the threadlike units. Copyright © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
