Abstract
(Chemical Equation Presented) Picking up the thread: A polypseudorotaxane 1 with a regular one-dimensional linear structure has been constructed in satisfactory yield from cucurbit[7]uril and polyaniline (PANI). The complexation with cucurbituril not only enhances the water solubility of the PANI (see picture; after 10 h), but also effectively stabilizes its radical cation form, that is, the conductive doped form, as shown by EPR spectroscopy.
