7. Most shuttling mechanisms require a concomitant - and often major - change in the rotaxane primary structure (e.g. charge, oxidation state, protonation, etc). In the absence of clear controls, attributing the changes in property to the positional displacement of components rather than the change in the electronic nature or chemical composition of the molecule is not straightforward.
