50. The presence of CT interactions between the DB24C8 ring and the bipyridinium unit in the rotaxane is expected to cause the appearance of a broad, weak absorption band with a maximum between 400 and 450 nm. However, such a band could not be observed, most likely because it is covered by the intense absorption bands of the anthracene chromophore.

59. The same kind of bistability in redox-driven, two-station catenanes has also been exploited in molecular electronic devices; see: C. P. Collier, G. Mattersteig, E. W. Wong, Y. Luo, K. Beverly, J. Sampaio, F. M. Raymo, J. F. Stoddart, J. R. Heath, Science 2000, 289, 1172-1175.
60. Operating as an actuator, the dual bistability exhibited by a palindromic [3]rotaxane, with two redox-driven units that act synchronously and cooperatively within a self-assembled monolayer, has been harnessed to bend micrometer-sized, gold-coated silicon cantilever beams, which could be considered as prototypes of nanoelectromechanical systems; see: T.
