The construction of highly ordered and discrete multirotaxanes with the well-defined structure remains a challenge. Herein, a symmetric [5]rotaxane with zinc porphyrin as core and the neutral platinum-acetylide as the linkage was synthesized with high yield. The [5]rotaxane was well characterized with NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Interestingly, it was found that the [5]rotaxane showed the controllable aggregation behaviours in different solution compositions. For example, in non-polar solution, the [5]rotaxane could self-assemble into the largescaled solid nanospheres while the nanofibers were formed in polar solvent. Further investigation revealed that the [5]rotaxane displayed J-type aggregation in solution driven by p-p interaction. Notably,the similar structure without DPP[5]A formed the irregular morphology at the same condition,suggesting that the existence of rotaxanes endowed the complex with a relative rigid structure to facilitate the formation of the ordered aggregates.展开更多
