Abstract

Herein, we report the kinetics of pseudo[1]rotaxane formation from permethyl α-cyclodextrin attached to a flexible-chain-substituted diphenylethynylene. When the chain is an alkyl group, the rate of formation shows different trends over three regions of chain length: deceleration (chain length = 1–3), acceleration (4–8), and re-deceleration (>12). This behavior is driven by a relative decrease in the ΔH‡ of the transition.
