Abstract

Abstract : We report here a DCL study of a phenanthroline-based building block focusing on catenane formation with copper templates. Abstract : We report here a DCL study of a phenanthroline-based building block focusing on catenane formation with copper templates. Two [2]catenanes have been amplified by using Cu + as a template from the DCLs that contain no interlocked compounds in the absence of copper. In addition, an unexpected Cu 2+ template effect on the [2]catenane formation was discovered. The observed Cu 2+ template effect was found to originate from the in situ reduction of the divalent metal to Cu + .
