Controlling a molecular brake : Binding interactions between the thread and the macrocycle of a [2]rotaxane can be tuned in a quasi‐continuous manner by adding hydrogen‐bond‐forming solvent molecules one at a time to an isolated [2]rotaxane molecule. Conformational changes that detach the thread from the macrocycle can be induced controllably, and the system resembles a molecular version of applying and releasing a brake.
