Three charge-transfer chromophore-terminated [2]rotaxanes were synthesized, using a high-yield [2 + 2]cycloaddition reaction in apolar solvent at room temperature. Two solvent-driving molecular shuttles were constructed, which exhibit distinct conformations in different solvent as a result of the shuttling movement of the macrocycle.
