Formation and characterization of host–guest complex 1•10EO in a threading fashion. a Schematic representation of the formation of 1:1 pseudo-rotaxane complex 1•10EO and its equilibrium mixture in water. b ESI-TOF MS spectrum (H2O, room temperature) of 1•10EO. 1H NMR spectra (500 MHz, D2O) of 1•10EO at c room temperature and d 5 °C. Optimized structure of 1•10EO: e cylinder and space-filling representation and f space-filling representation highlighting threaded 10EO in red (the peripheral substituents are replaced by hydrogen atoms for clarity)
