Building bridges : Imine bridges between the axle and ring components in rotaxanes allow simple rotaxane synthesis and a novel method for motion control to be developed. The submolecular mobility in this rotaxane‐type assembly is regulated by the imine‐bond formation/cleavage (see scheme). The relative abundance of the [2]rotaxane increases with decreasing temperature under dynamic equilibrium conditions.
