A bistable [2]rotaxane comprising an alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) ring and a dumbbell component containing a redox-active tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) ring system within its rod section has been synthesized using the Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition, and the redox-driven movements of the alph...
