Abstract

crown ethers rotaxanes concepts in chemistry host‐guest chemistry hemicarcerands noncovalent interactions slippage supramolecular chemistry constrictive binding self‐assembly
Kinetically stable superarchitectures can be assembled by relying upon both noncovalent bonds and mechanical coercion. Thus, at elevated temperatures, rotaxane‐like complexes (a) are generated when macrocycles slip over the stoppers of chemical dumbbells, while hemicarceplexes (b) are created when guests squeeze through the portals of hemicarcerands.
