Figure 16

Illustration of a synthetic molecular pump. The energy profiles for a ring under both reducing (top) and oxidizing (bottom) conditions are shown, where the overall free-energy difference between having a ring on the collection site is the same irrespective of whether the ring is oxidized (CBPQT4+) or reduced (CBPQT2(•+)).
