Switching on chirality : Reversible catenation allows switching between achiral, planar, Pd II ‐linked rings containing a pentakis( m ‐phenylene) unit and a chiral, double‐helical conformation of the catenane (see picture). Molecular chirality is induced in the catenane by an ancillary chiral unit on the metal.
