69. A rotaxane is a molecule that contains a linear component (the axle) encircled by one, or more, macrocyclic component (the wheel). In order to prevent the wheel from slipping off the axle, the linear component must be terminated at both ends by large blocking groups or stoppers. The addition of the prefix pseudo to the term rotaxane indicates that in a pseudorotaxane the wheel is free to dissociate from the axle in the same way as ligands may in a more conventional type of complex. The molecular components of a pseudorotaxane are held together only by their mutual noncovalent bonding interactions. See P. R. Ashton, D. Philp, N. Spencer, J. F. Stoddart, J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. 1991, 1677-1679.
