Abstract / Description of output

Reaction of a [2] catenane with Pd(OAc)(2) binds both macrocycles to the metal, locking them in position; treatment with PdCl2, however, results in coordination of only one ring, producing a half-turn in the relative orientation of the [2] catenane components in both solution and the solid state.
