Lithium-Templated Synthesis of a Donor-Acceptor Pseudorotaxane and Catenane

Simultaneous coordination of an aromatic electron donor and acceptor to lithium leads to the formation of highly stable colored pseudorotaxane complexes (see picture). The lithium templated pseudorotaxane is an effective precursor to a [2]catenane.
