Herein, we have demonstrated a crown ether based molecular cage 1 that forms extremely stable supramolecular complexes with bisdiazonium ions in solution. A system based on a molecular cage, in which bisdiazonium, bispyridinium, and anthraquinone guests can be complexed to the host sequentially through the application of suitable stimuli, is reported.We have demonstrated that the molecular cage 1 can complex the guest 2,6-diazaanthracene-9,10-dione 13 in its internal cavity. This complex may mimic the function of a molecular gyroscope in that its complexed guest changes its binding geometry with respect to the macrocyclic host upon the addition and removal of K+ ions.
