Synthetic macrocycles capable of undergoing allosteric regulation by responding to versatile external stimuli are the subject of increasing attention in supramolecular science. Herein, we report a structurally transformative tetracationic cyclophane containing two 3,6-bis­(4-pyridyl)-l,2,4,5-tetrazi...
