1. Pseudorotaxanes have been defined (P. R. Ashton, D. Philp, N. Spencer, J. F. Stoddart, J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. 1991, 1677-1679) as inclusion complexes in which one or more threadlike molecules (or ions) are encircled by one or more macrocyclic molecules (or ions), resulting in a superstructure wherein the center(s) of the macrocycle(s) are interpenetrated by the thread(s). Since no intercomponent mechanical bond exists in these supramolecular species, their separate components are free to dissociate from one another. An [n]pseudorotaxane's prefix indicates that it is comprised of n components. For some recent examples, see: a) P. R. Ashton, S. J. Langford, N. Spencer, J. F. Stoddart, A. J. P. White, D. J.
