Abstract
A macrocyclic ring comprising multiple hydrogen-bonding sites as well as metal-chelating sites is shown to play the role of ligand in active templated, copper-catalysed [2]rotaxane formation via Huisgen and Glaser reactions. The crystallographic structure and copper ion binding studies are provided for the free macrocycle, along with molecular modelling, barbital, N,N′-trimethyleneurea and copper (I) binding information for the new rotaxanes
