Squaraine [2]catenanes: synthesis, structure and molecular dynamics

Abstract

Three squaraine [2]catenanes are synthesized and found to have bright, deep-red fluorescence and high chemical stability. The interlocked molecules undergo two large-amplitude dynamic processes, twisting of the squaraine macrocycle and skipping over the partner tetralactam.
