Schematic representation of a C∞v symmetric axle and a Cs symmetric ring (a); the two enantiomers of a mechanically planar (MP) chiral rotaxane (b); the two enantiomers of a coconformationally MP chiral rotaxane and their interconversion by ring shuttling through an achiral coconformation that features a mirror plane (c).
