3,3'-Linked BINOL macrocycles: optimized synthesis of crown ethers featuring one or two BINOL units Open
Chiral macrocycles hold significant importance in various scientific fields due to their unique structural and chemical properties. By controlling their size, shape, and substituents, chiral macrocycles offer a platform for designing and s…

Directional Macrocycle Transport, Release, and Recapture Enabled by a Rotaxane Transporter Open
A transporter for a directional macrocycle transport, release, and recapture was constructed. This was achieved using a rotaxane featuring a dibenzo‐24‐crown‐8 macrocycle, dibenzylammonium (DBA)/methyl triazolium (MTA) stations on the thre…

A <span>CoA</span> ‐Transferase and Acyl‐ <span>CoA</span> Dehydrogenase Convert 2‐(Carboxymethyl)cyclohexane‐1‐Carboxyl‐ <span>CoA</span> During Anaerobic Naphthalene Degradation Open
The CoA thioester of 2‐(carboxymethyl)cyclohexane‐1‐carboxylic acid has been identified as a metabolite in anaerobic naphthalene degradation by the sulfate‐reducing culture N47. This study identified and characterised two acyl‐CoA dehydrog…

Molecular folding governs switchable singlet oxygen photoproduction in porphyrin-decorated bistable rotaxanes Open
Rotaxanes are mechanically interlocked molecules where a ring (macrocycle) is threaded onto a linear molecule (thread). The position of the macrocycle on different stations on the thread can be controlled in response to external stimuli, m…

Porphyrin-decorated bistable rotaxanes: Molecular folding governs switchable singlet oxygen photoproduction Open
Bistable rotaxanes were used to develop pH-switchable systems for singlet dioxygen photoproduction. Based on the combination of a Zn(II)-tetraphenylporphyrin photosensitizer, which was attached to the macrocycle, and a black-hole-quencher,…

Heterobifunctional rotaxanes featuring two chiral subunits – synthesis and application in asymmetric organocatalysis Open
We reported acid–base functionalized rotaxanes featuring two chiral subunits. The mechanical bond leads to increased reaction rates and also to strongly altered enantioselectivites in comparison to the non-interlocked control catalysts.
