✦ Synopsis

We also thank Mr. Richard Kingsborough for his invaluable help with the electrochemical measurements as well as for helpful discussions, Dr. Robert Deans for providing some tetraethyleneglycol intermediates, and Sarah OConnor for assisting our computational investigations. Scheme 1. Mixing of 3, 4, and Cu 1 or Zn 2 ions to produce metallorotaxane monomers 1 and 2, and subsequent polymerization.
