J. 2000, 6, 3558. Very recently, a supramolecular machine based upon the secondary ammonium ion/crown ether interaction was shown to be driven by the redox properties of a ferrocene unit in a system similar to that reported here; see: Horie, M.; Suzaki, Y.; Osakada, K. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2004, 126, 3684.
