Abstract
Sodium ion-controlled switching from "folded" to "linear" states results in significant changes in the molecular shape of a [2]catenane, such that it mimics the operation of a gin trap, with a fluorescent alarm signal appearing when pyrene side arms were present on its two macrocyclic components.
