A ethylene glycol bridged pyridine and pillar[5]arene based mechanically selflocked pseudo[1]rotaxane was constructed successfully. The structure and selflocked conformation of pseudo[1]rotaxane were confirmed by 1 H, 2D NMR spectrum and HR‐ESI‐MS. It was found that in dilute solution the pseudo[1]rotaxane could be operated as an acid/base‐controllable two state molecular shuttle while In concentrated solution, the pseudo[1]rotaxane existed as a dimer and could be operated from shrinking state to extension state.
