Popis: Four new fluorine-containing macrocyclic polyethers based on bis-p-phenylene-34-crown-10 have been synthesized and subsequently catenated, separately, with cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene). The efficiencies of the catenations are strongly influenced by the aromatic ring templates in the macrocyclic polyethers. Incorporation of fluorine atom substituents into one of the hydroquinone rings in bis-p-phenylene-34-crown-10 had only a small effect on the percentage yields, whereas employing bis-p-phenylene-34-crown-10 derivatives, in which both hydroquinone rings have been at least partially fluorinated, resulted in a dramatic decrease in catenation yields. In [2]catenanes incorporating macrocyclic polyethers containing one hydroquinone and one fluorinated hydroquinone ring, in both the solution (1H and 19F NMR, and UV−vis spectroscopies, electrochemical studies and molecular modeling) and solid (X-ray crystallography and molecular modeling) states, by far the major translational isomers observed were the ones wi...
