The genesis of a new range of interlocked molecules

Secondary dialkylammonium ions self-assemble with suitably sized macrocyclic polyethers, such as the well-known dibenzo-24-crown-8 and bis-p-phenylene-34-crown-10, into pseudorotaxane superstructures in (a) solution, (b) the solid state and (c) the ‘gas phase’.
