Abstract
Based on the pillar[5]arene/alkane recognition motif, two [2]rotaxanes were successfully prepared. Their formation was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy and ESI mass spectrometry. We also demonstrated that 3,5-dinitrophenyl group and 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl group are big enough to work as stoppers for DPPillar[5]arene, which lays a foundation for the preparation of more complex and functional supramolecular structures.
