TR absorption spectra of two-station rotaxanes, their separate thread, and macrocycle components, as well as those of the individual stations incorporated into the thread, have been measured in the 1800-1000 cm(-1) region. These spectra have been fully analyzed, aided by quantum chemical predictions of the IR spectra. From these analyses, a comprehensive picture emerges of the conformational structure and binding interactions between the mechanically interlocked components of the rotaxane.}, year = {2011}, journal = {Journal of Physical Chemistry A}, volume = {115}, number = {34}, pages = {9669-9675}, month = {Sep}, isbn = {1089-5639}, url = {://WOS:000294146400040 }, note = {ISI Document Delivery No.: 810SCTimes Cited: 0Cited Reference Count: 58SI}, language = {English}, }
