The geometrical changes arising upon chemical switching of a doubly spin‐labeled [2]rotaxane, which behaves as an acid–base‐controlled molecular shuttle, were monitored by pulsed electron–electron double resonance (PELDOR) spectroscopy. The ring displacement along the axle in the rotaxane is accompanied by a profound change in the geometry adopted by the macrocycle. More information can be found in the Communication by A. Credi, M. Di Valentin, M. Lucarini et al. on page 8745 ff.
