Abstract

Protonation controls the location of a dual binding mode macrocycle in a [2]rotaxane. In the neutral form, amide−amide hydrogen bonds hold the macrocycle over a dipeptide residue; when the thread is protonated, polyether−ammonium cation interactions dominate and the macrocycle changes position.
