Abstract

Triptycene-derived cylindrical macrotricyclic host with two dibenzo-30-crown-10 cavities could form stable 1:1 complexes with not only polyether linked bisparaquat derivative but also a self-folding A-D-A guest in solution and/or solid state. Moreover, it was found that switchable processes between the host and both the bisparaquat derivative and the self-folding guest could be further controlled by potassium ions.
