Scheme 2

Molecular model of macrocycle/squaraine pseudorotaxane complex (M ⊃ S) showing how the speed bump substituents (X) on the squaraine are located outside the macrocycle cavity. For clarity the peripheral appendages on the surrounding macrocycle and the PEG chains (Y) that flank the squaraine are not shown.
