Fig. 1. Transient differential absorption spectra recorded a) 5 ps and b) 200 ps after laser excitation of the [2] rotaxane 3 in acetonitrile solution. The insert to each spectrum shows the decay profile recorded at 410 nm together with its computed best fit. confines of a charge-transfer complex. The same absorption spectral features appear following laser excitation of the [2] rotaxane having the terminal ferrocene subunits replaced with triisopropylsilyl groups. However, whereas the transient absorption signal observed for this latter system decayed completely to the prepulse baseline with a lifetime of about 9 ps, that observed for 3 decayed with a lifetime of about 22 ps to leave a residual signal (Fig. 1 a). The transient absorption spectrum of the longer lived species, as recorded following excitation at 532nm with a 30ps laser pulse (Fig. 1 b), was very similar, if not identical, to that observed immediately after excitation of 3, and the species decayed slowly by first-order kinetics with a lifetime of 550 ns (Fig. 1 b). Excitation of the rotaxane without the cyclophane (ie, compound 1) under conditions identical to those described above did not give rise to any detectable transient species.
