Abstract

Engineering Engineering, Mechanical Materials Science Materials Science, Multidisciplinary Physical Sciences Physics Physics, Condensed Matter Science & Technology Technology
Semi-empirical (AM1) electronic structure calculations are reported on a pH-switchable [2] rotaxane whose synthesis was reported in [Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 36 (1997) 1904]. The [2] rotaxane possesses two cationic binding sites, with different affinities toward dibenzo [24] crown-8 (the ring component of the [2] rotaxane) depending upon the pH of the system. The computational results capture this pH-sensitive bistability, the key device-like characteristic of the rotaxane.
