Abstract
We report the efficient self-templated formation of optically active 2,6-bis(1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridine (btp) derived homocircuit [2]catenane enantiomers. This represents the first example of the enantiopure formation of chiral btp homocircuit [2]catenanes from starting materials consisting of a classical chiral element; X-ray diffraction crystallography enabled the structural characterization of the [2]catenane. The self-assembly reaction was monitored closely in solution facilitating the characterization of the pseudo-rotaxane reaction intermediate prior to mechanically interlocking the pre-organised system via ring-closing metathesis.

Abstract
![]()
We report a one-step
enantioselective synthesis of mechanically
planar chiral [2]rotaxanes. Previous studies of such molecules have
generally involved the separation of enantiomers from racemic mixtures
or the preparation and separation of diastereomeric intermediates
followed by post-assembly modification to remove other sources of
chirality. Here, we demonstrate a simple asymmetric metal-free active
template rotaxane synthesis using a primary amine, an activated ester
with a chiral leaving group, and an achiral crown ether lacking rotational
symmetry. Mechanically planar chiral rotaxanes are obtained directly
in up to 50% enantiomeric excess. The rotaxanes were characterized
by NMR spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry, chiral HPLC,
single crystal X-ray diffraction, and circular dichroism. Either rotaxane
enantiomer could be prepared selectively by incorporating pseudoenantiomeric
cinchona alkaloids into the chiral leaving group.

Abstract
After briefly reviewing the applications of the coordination ability indices proposed earlier for anions and solvents toward transition metals and lanthanides, a new analysis of crystal structures is applied now to a much larger number of coordinating species: anions (including those that are present in ionic solvents), solvents, amino acids, gases, and a sample of neutral ligands. The coordinating ability towards s-block elements is now also considered. The effect of several factors on the coordinating ability will be discussed: (a) the charge of an anion, (b) the chelating nature of anions and solvents, (c) the degree of protonation of oxo-anions, carboxylates and amino carboxylates, and (d) the substitution of hydrogen atoms by methyl groups in NH3 , ethylenediamine, benzene, ethylene, pyridine and aldehydes. Hit parades of solvents and anions most commonly used in the areas of transition metal, s-block and lanthanide chemistry are deduced from the statistics of their presence in crystal structures.

Abstract
A tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)-containing crown ether macrocycle with C s symmetry was designed to implement planar chirality into a redox-active [2]rotaxane. The directionality of the macrocycle atom sequence together with the non-symmetric axle renders the corresponding [2]rotaxane mechanically planar chiral. Enantiomeric separation of the [2]rotaxane was achieved by chiral HPLC. The electrochemical properties - caused by the reversible oxidation of the TTF - are similar to a non-chiral control. Reversible inversion of the main band in the ECD spectra for the individual enantiomers was observed after oxidation. Experimental evidence, conformational analysis and DFT calculations of the neutral and doubly oxidised species indicate that mainly electronic effects of the oxidation are responsible for the chiroptical switching. This is the first electrochemically switchable rotaxane with a reversible inversion of the main ECD band.

Abstract
Although chiral mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) have been synthesised and studied, enantiopure examples are relatively under-represented in the pantheon of reported catenanes and rotaxanes and the underlying chirality of the system is often even overlooked. This is changing with the advent of new applications of MIMs in catalysis, sensing and materials and the appearance of new methods to access unusual stereogenic units unique to the mechanical bond. Here we discuss the different stereogenic units that have been investigated in catenanes and rotaxanes, examples of their application, methods for assigning absolute stereochemistry and provide a perspective on future developments.

Abstract
Molecular chirality provides a key challenge in host-guest recognition and other related chemical applications such as asymmetric catalysis. For a molecule to act as an efficient enantioselective receptor, it requires multi-point interactions between host and chiral guest, which may be achieved by an appropriate chiral 3D scaffold. As a consequence of their interlocked structure, catenanes and rotaxanes may present such a 3D scaffold, and can be chiral by inclusion of a classical chiral element and/or as a consequence of the mechanical bond. This Minireview presents illustrative examples of chiral [2]catenanes and [2]rotaxanes, and discusses where these molecules have been used in chemical applications such as chiral host-guest recognition and asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
The application of chiral interlocked host molecules for discrimination of guest enantiomers has been largely overlooked, which is surprising given their unique three-dimensional binding cavities capable of guest encapsulation. Herein, we combined the stringent linear geometric interaction constraints of halogen bonding (XB), the noncovalent interaction between an electrophilic halogen atom and a Lewis base, with highly preorganized and conformationally restricted chiral cavities of [2]rotaxanes to achieve enantioselective anion recognition. Representing the first detailed investigation of the use of chiral XB rotaxanes for this purpose, extensive 1H NMR binding studies and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation experiments revealed that the chiral rotaxane cavity significantly enhances enantiodiscrimination compared to the non-interlocked free axle and macrocycle components. Furthermore, by examining the enantioselectivities of a family of structurally similar XB [2]rotaxanes containing different combinations of chiral and achiral macrocycle and axle components, the dominant influence of the chiral macrocycle in our rotaxane design for determining the effectiveness of chiral discrimination is demonstrated. MD simulations reveal the crucial geometric roles played by the XB interactions in orientating the bound enantiomeric anion guests for chiral selectivity, as well as the critical importance of the anions' hydration shells in governing binding affinity and enantiodiscrimination.

Abstract
Mechanically planar chiral [2]rotaxanes were synthesized by the introduction of bulky pyrrole moieties into the axle component of an achiral [2]rotaxane. The enantiomers were separated by chiral HPLC. The shuttling of the ring component between the two compartments at high temperature induced the stereoinversion of the mechanically planar chiral [2]rotaxane. The rate of the stereoinversion was studied quantitatively, and the kinetic parameters were determined.

Mechanical
point-chirality in a [2]rotaxane is utilized for asymmetric
catalysis. Stable enantiomers of the rotaxane result from a bulky
group in the middle of the thread preventing a benzylic amide macrocycle
shuttling between different sides of a prochiral center, creating
point chirality in the vicinity of a secondary amine group. The resulting
mechanochirogenesis delivers enantioselective organocatalysis via
both enamine (up to 71:29 er) and iminium (up to 68:32 er) activation
modes.

Abstract
Heterorotaxanes have been emerging as an important class of mechanically interlocked molecules and have attracted much attention in recent years. Driven by the distinguishable host-guest interactions between crown ether macrocycles and ammonium with different sizes, a novel hetero[4]rotaxane was successfully prepared by employing the combination of copper-catalyzed "click" reaction and P(n-Bu)3-catalyzed esterification reaction as stoppering reactions. The hetero[4]rotaxane contains an interlocked species in which a dibenzo[24]crown-8 ring threaded by a dibenzylammonium-containing component with two benzo[21]crown-7 macrocycles at both ends to act as stoppers, and each of the two benzo[21]crown-7 rings is also threaded with a benzylalkylammonium unit to form the second interlocked species. The hetero[4]rotaxane was prepared through two different stepwise synthetic routes, and the complicated chemical structure of the hetero[4]rotaxane was well-characterized by (1)H NMR spectroscopy and high-resolution electrospray ionization (HR-ESI) mass spectrometry. The investigation shows that the construction of complicated topological heterorotaxane can be achieved via distinct approaches with high efficiencies, which may provide a foundation for the construction of more sophisticated heterorotaxane systems or functional supermolecules.

We describe the first method for production of mechanically planar chiral rotaxanes in excellent enantiopurity without the use of chiral separation techniques and, for the first time, unambiguously assign the absolute stereochemistry of the products. This proof-of-concept study, which employs a chiral pool sugar as the source of asymmetry and a high-yielding active template reaction for mechanical bond formation, finally opens the door to detailed investigation of these challenging targets.
