After this manuscript was submitted, some fascinating light-switchable shuttles were reported in which a small change in the position of a cyclodextrin on a rotaxane thread changes the solvation sphere of a fluorophore stopper sufficiently to alter the fluorescence intensity by a ratio of ∼1.5:1 [Wang, Q.-C.; Qu, D.-H.; Ren, J.; Chen, K.; Tian, H. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2004, 43, 2661-2665].
