Molecular Loop Lock: A Redox-Driven Molecular Machine Based on a Host-Stabilized Charge-Transfer Complex

Molecular Loop Lock: A Redox-Driven Molecular Machine Based on a Host-Stabilized Charge-Transfer Complex

Under lock and key: A molecular machine based on the redox‐coupled guest exchange of a cucurbit[8]uril‐stabilized charge‐transfer complex is reported. It behaves as a molecular loop lock that requires not only a key but also an activation process to open (see graphic).
