Eight new [2]rotaxanes have been prepared, incorporating an α‐cyclodextrin as the rotor, a stilbene as the axle, and trinitrophenyl substituents as capping groups. Strategies have been devised to elaborate these by linking the rotor to the axle, to produce two new [1]rotaxanes. Rotational motion in a selection of these rotaxanes has been investigated through the application of two‐dimensional NMR spectroscopy by performing TOCSY, DQF‐COSY, ROESY and HMQC experiments. This has shown that a methoxyl group incorporated on the stilbene and a succinamide joining the stilbene and the cyclodextrin behave analogously to a ratchet tooth and pawl, respectively, to restrict rotation.
