Abstract
Three threaded structures capped by fluoro/chlorocarbon blocking groups with different sizes were constructed by template synthesis based on the benzo-21-crown-7/secondary ammonium salt recognition motif, as confirmed by (1)H NMR, electrospray mass spectrometry and single crystal X-ray analysis. The transformation from a rotaxane-like entity into a rotaxane was achieved by replacing the end group from the trifluoroacetic ester group to its trichloroacetic ester analogue.
