Abstract

Abstract : A combination of an Np V center and a cucurbituril-based pseudorotaxane ligand generates the first transuranium-rotaxane complex, NRCP-1, which has a mechanically-interlocked [ c 2]daisy chain unit. Abstract : As an extension of actinide-rotaxane complexes from uranium to transuranium, we report the first crystal structure of a neptunium-rotaxane complex, NRCP-1, in which an interwoven neptunium(v )-rotaxane coordination network incorporating a mechanically-interlocked [ c 2]daisy chain unit is promoted via the simultaneous coordination of cucurbituril (CB6) and axle molecules in [2]pseudorotaxane to Np V .
