Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have examined synthesis of a water-soluble [2]rotaxane interlocked α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) on a dumbbell component containing photoisomerizable azobenzene and stilbene stations with the aim of development of molecular ratchets system (unidirectional translation), one of essential function for molecular machine.
An azobenzene-CD[2]rotaxane was synthesized, a fractional structure of the target molecule. ROESY analyses of the [2]rotaxane in alkaline D2O solution demonstrated that the α-CD ring located on the (E)-form station. Then, photoisomerization of the station to (Z)-form by irradiation of 360 nm light for 2 hours pushed the α-CD ring out of the station in the direction with turning the narrow opening (6-rim) toward the station.
