Cyclic voltammogram (background subtracted) signatures of rotaxane films based on 14. Stable over repeated cycling (>10 cycles). Estimated surface concentration as 50 % of theoretical maximum (calculated from a molecular footprint of the macrocycle, 3.0 nm²). Distance of faradaic exchange estimated at approximately 2 nm based on localisation of the macrocycle at the pyridinium station and a perpendicular orientation of the axle to the underlying gold surface. Insert: Potential shifts of surface-bound Os(+2/+3) couple, after immersion of rotaxane interface in TBAAcO/CH₃CN and TBACl/CH₃CN solutions following washing with NH₄PF₆/H₂O to remove Cl⁻ template. Plotted data is the mean of several measurements.
