Figure 3: SAXS on [4]- and [7]-rotaxanes.
From: Making hybrid [n]-rotaxanes as supramolecular arrays of molecular electron spin qubits
(a) SAXS data; (i) calculated diffraction from crystallographically determined structure of 4, (ii) experimental data from 4, (iii) experimental data from 9. The solid line in each spectra is the fit that is associated with the pair distribution function plots shown in b. (b) Pair distance distribution function; (i) fit to calculated SAXS data for 4, (ii) fit to experimental data collected for 4 and (iii) fit to experimental data collected for 9. Inset: schematic representation of 4 (top) and 9 (bottom). The pair distance distribution function curves presented were also correlated with Guinier plots and gyration radius calculations to ensure consistency within the data analysis.
