Engineering entanglement: controlling the formation of polycatenanes and polyrotaxanes using π interactions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A reproducible metallocyclic motif containing amino-acid functionalised aromatic diimides has been employed to demonstrate remarkable control over entanglement topologies. [2]-Catenane and pseudo-rotaxane units give rise to 1D → 2D polycatenation, the formation of which can be sterically prevented, and a unique 1D → 3D polyrotaxane.

Constructions of two polycatenanes and one polypseudo-rotaxane by discrete tetrahedral cages and stool-like building units
Mechanically Interlocked molecules, such as catenanes and rotaxanes, are of great interest due to their fascinating structures and potential applications, while such molecules have been mainly restricted to comprising components of interlocked rings or polygons. The constructions of infinite polycatenanes and polyrotaxanes by discrete cages remain great challenge, and only two infinite polycate...

متن کاملDynamics of Entanglement between Linearly Polarized Photons and π -Electrons in Graphene
In the present article we report the dynamical behavior of entanglement between π-electrons and photons in Graphene. It is shown that the degree of such entanglements depend on the orientation of π-electron momenta relative to the photonic polarization. Moreover, we show that as the detuning between the π-electron transition frequencies and that of the photons is increased, the degree of entang...
متن کاملA theoretical study on halogen-π interactions: X-C2-Y…C8H8 complexes
M06-2X functional was employed to study halogen-π interactions in X-C2-Y…C8H8 complexes (X, Y=H, F, Cl, and Br). In fact, interactions of mono- or di-halogenated acetylenes and planar cyclooctatetraene as an anti-aromatic π system were considered. Relationship between binding energies of the complexes and charge transfer effects was investigated. Also, electronic charge density values were calc...
