✦ Synopsis
A new highly rigid catenand has. been synthesized. It contains two interlocked rings whose reciprocal motions are highly restricted, making the topography of the copper(I) catenate similar to that of the free ligand. Catenanes consist of interlocked rings, usually able to glide freely one into the other"'. Rotaxanes, on the other hand, consist of a cycle and a molecular linear fragment inside it whose gliding out of the ring is prevented by bulky substituents located at its
