Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The reaction of 2, 6‐diformylpyridine with diverse amines and Pd^II ions gave rise to a variety of metallosupramolecular species, in which the Pd^II ion is observed to template a tridentate bis(imino)pyridine ligand. These species included a mononuclear complex as well as [2+2] and [3+3] macrocycles. The addition of pyridine‐containing macrocyclic capping ligands allows for topological complexity to arise, thereby enabling the straightforward preparation of structures that include a [2]catenane, a [2]rotaxane, and a doubly threaded [3]rotaxane.</p> </abstract>
