Chloride control : The serendipitous discovery of a molecular recognition motif that is triggered by the formation of an anion‐palladium coordination bond is exploited as an efficient rotaxane‐forming template and as the basis of a molecular shuttle. The macrocycle of this rotaxane moves between the two stations when the counterion is changed from chloride to hexafluorophosphate (see picture).
