Project description

The aim of the project is the synthesis of pseudorotaxanes and rotaxanes containing the acridane subunit. For this purpose both molecilar threads and cyclophanes are synthesized possessing acridinium units. By studying the photochemistry of the acridan subunit photoswitschable rotaxanes may be created.
