  • Electrochemistry

Background:

  • Hydrogen-bonded [2]rotaxanes are mechanically interlocked molecules with tunable properties.
  • Flavin derivatives offer unique redox and photophysical characteristics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize novel flavin-stoppered hydrogen-bonded [2]rotaxanes.
  • To investigate the electrochemical properties of these rotaxanes in solution.
  • To explore the electropolymerization of a flavin-rotaxane derivative.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of [2]rotaxanes using established rotaxanation techniques.
  • Electrochemical characterization using cyclic voltammetry.
  • Thin film preparation via electropolymerization.
