Abstract
We report that the use of a hydrogen-bonded pyrimidine-macrocycle complex can efficiently facilitate the threading of two bispyridinium ethylenes into four rings, as evidenced by X-ray crystallography of its precursor, offering a rare example of a doubly threaded [6]rotaxane in 91% yield. The unusual architecture is found to be stable with no dethreading despite the large ring size of the macrocycle with respect to the stopper.

Abstract
The development of efficient and selective organic synthetic approaches for complex molecules has garnered significant attention due to the need for precise control over molecular structures and functions. Rotaxanes, a type of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs), have shown promising applications in various fields including sensing, catalysis, and material science. However, the highly selective synthesis of oligo[n]rotaxanes (mostly n≥3) through controlling host-guest complexation and supramolecular threading assembly process still remains an ongoing challenge. In particular, the utilization of two-dimensional (2D) macrocycles with structural shape-persistency for the synthesis of oligo[n]rotaxanes is rare. In this concept, research on cooperatively threaded host-guest complexation with hydrogen-bonded (H-bonded) aramide macrocycles and selective synthetic protocols of oligo[n]rotaxanes has been summarized. The high efficiency and selectivity in synthesis are ascribed to the synergistic interplay of multiple non-covalent bonding interactions such as hydrogen bonding and intermolecular π-π stacking of macrocycles within the unique supramolecular structure of threaded host-guest complexes. This review focuses on the latest progress in the concepts, synthesis, and properties of H-bonded aramide macrocycle-based oligorotaxanes, and presents an in-depth outlook on challenges in this emerging field.

Abstract
As a classic example of nearly planar cyclic compounds, hydrogen-bonded aromatic amide (H-bonded aramide) macrocycles, consisting of consecutive intramolecular hydrogen bonds and aromatic residues, receive considerable research attention due to their rich host-guest chemistry. This review provides a detailed summary of the synthesis, properties and functions of H-bonded aramide macrocycles and their derivatives. Herein, the constitutional patterns of these macrocycles are divided into two subcategories: interior hydrogen bonding motifs and exterior hydrogen bonding motifs. Based on these two motifs, we summarize the facile synthesis, self-assembly, host-guest interaction complexation of H-bonded aramide macrocycles and the resulting applications such as molecular recognition, artificial ion channels, soft materials, supramolecular catalysis, and artificial molecular machines. The development of H-bonded aramide macrocycles is still in its infancy, although a considerable number of examples have been reported. We hope that this review will provide useful information and unlock new opportunities in this field.

Abstract
A novel approach to efficient and selective construction of [4]rotaxane was proposed to demonstrate the superiority of H-bonded azo-macrocycles in forging higher order rotaxanes. The single crystal structure reveals the importance of the interplay of multiple non-covalent bonding interactions, particularly π-stacking interactions, in stabilizing the host-guest complex. This may open an avenue to the synthesis of oligomeric mechanically interlocked molecules containing fewer stations but more rings.

Abstract
Steric hindrance (SH) plays a central role in the modern chemical narrative, lying at the core of chemical intuition. As it however happens with many successful chemical concepts, SH lacks an underlying physically sound root, and multiple mutually inconsistent approximations have been devised to relate this fuzzy concept to computationally derivable descriptors. We here argue that being SH related to spatial as well as energetic features of interacting systems, SH can be properly handled if we chose a real space energetic stance like the Interacting Quantum Atoms (IQA) approach. Drawing on previous work by Popelier and coworkers (ChemistryOpen 8, 560, 2019) we build an energetic estimator of SH, referred to as EST . We show that the rise in the self-energy of a fragment that accompanies steric congestion is a faithful proxy for the chemist's SH concept if we remove the effect of charge transfer. This can be done rigorously, and the EST here defined provides correct sterics even for hydrogen atoms, where the plain use of deformation energies leads to non-chemical results. The applicability of EST is validated in several chemical scenarios, going from atomic compressions to archetypal SN2 reactions. EST is shown to be a robust steric hindrance descriptor.

Abstract
A novel cooperative [3]pseudorotaxane system consisting of dibenzo-24-crown-8 (DB24C8) and diphenylviologen axle has been developed. The two-step formation of the [3]pseudorotaxane occurred in a positive-cooperative manner. The corresponding [3]rotaxane was successfully obtained from just a stoichiometric mixture of each component by end-capping without dissociation.
