摘要
A [3]rotaxane I involving two naphtho-21-crown-7 （N21 C7） rings and a dumbbell-shaped component 4 was synthesized. The dumbbell-shape molecule 4 contains one viologen nucleus, two secondary alkyl ammonium sites and two phenyl stoppers. After threading the N21C7 ring with the thread-like ammonium vip 3, the copper（l）-catalyzed Huisgen alkyne-azide 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition （CuAAC ＂click＂ reaction）, was performed to connect the pseudorotaxanes with viologen unit 2 and generate 1. Through treating the [3]rotaxane by the base and acid circularly, the two N21 C7 rings can make shuttling motion along the axle. Meanwhile the distance between the electron-deficient viologen unit and the electron-rich naphthol group can be adjusted precisely along with a remarkable intramolecular charge- transfer （CT） behavior.
