Synthesis of a four-component [3]catenane using three distinct noncovalent interactions

Org Biomol Chem. 2013 Jan 7;11(1):27-30. doi: 10.1039/c2ob26587g.

Abstract

A multicomponent assembly is described resulting in [2] and [3]catenanes using three flexible components and three distinct noncovalent interactions. Despite the possibility of competing side-products, only the desired assemblies are generated and characterized spectroscopically.
