The synthesis is reported of the first rotaxane involving a bound ferrocenyl moiety and β-cyclodextrin; cyclodextrin groups are used as stoppers; intermediate 1:1 adduct formation in d8-THF was monitored by HR-DOSY methods (Kd=25 mM, 293 K) and the product rotaxane, isolated in 11% yield, has been characterised by NMR, CD and MALDI-TOF MS.
