Redox-switchable Intramolecular π−π-Stacking of Perylene Bisimide Dyes in a Cyclophane

Molecular actuation by stepwise electrochemical reduction is demonstrated for a cyclophane that exhibits a pronounced conformational transition from a closed cavity with cofacially stacked PBIs in the neutral state to an expanded open cavity in the three‐ and fourfold reduced state.
