40. The steric influences of the dendrons are also mirrored in the long reaction times: The mixtures had to be stirred for up to four weeks before all of the starting materials had reacted while usually the reaction is complete after a few days. Furthermore, between 77% (in case of 9b) and 94% (in case of 10b) of the free axles were formed here.
41. To make sure that under these severe conditions the spectral changes were caused by mechanical deslipping and not by chemical decomposition, we exposed the free components of the rotaxanes, that is the tetralactam 1 and the axles, to the same conditions. Indeed, there was a slow color change of the solutions and slight changes in the spectra were observed, however, these processes were significantly slower than the changes observed in the spectra of the rotaxanes.
