Abstract

A hydrogen bonded foldamer unit and an azobenzene unit have been incorporated into the linear component of a tristable [2]rotaxane to give rise to a doubly gated switching system tuned by the folding–defolding of the foldamer unit and the photo-initiated trans–cis isomerization of the azobenzene unit.
