The reaction of N3(CH2)3Si(OTMS)3 (TMS = SiMe3) with a dialkylammonium having hexynyl group 1, [FcCH2NH2CH2C6H4-4-O(CH2)4CCH]PF6 (Fc = Fe(C5H4)(C5H5)), in the presence of dibenzo[24]crown-8-ether (DB24C8) and [Cu{Fe(CN)4}]PF6 catalyst yielded the [2]rotaxane containing the dialkylammonium unit terminated by a bulky silyl group. Azides with a silsesquioxane group react similarly to form the corresponding [2]rotaxanes having a bulky silsesquioxane end group. The azide-functionalized polysiloxane, [–O–SiMe{(CH2)3N3}–]n[–O–SiMe2–]m also undergoes a click reaction with 1 to produce the side chain polyrotaxane. Cyclic voltammograms of these rotaxanes and 1 [(DB24C8)1] show the Fe(II)/Fe(III) redox at the same potential, but with different current depending on their molecular weights. Addition of PdCl2(MeCN)2 to a solution of the side-chain polyrotaxane forms gel which regenerates the sol upon addition of PPh3.
