Template-directed synthesis (TDS) is one of the commonly used strategies in synthesis of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs). Inclusion complexes
(ICs) of electron-deficient cationic macrocyclic ‘host’ and electron-rich ‘guest’ molecules have been used as donor-acceptor interactions driven ‘templates’ in TDS of
MIMs.
