Here we report the synthesis and structural characterization of four [7]rotaxanes formed by coordinating hybrid inorganic-organic [2]rotaxanes to a central {Ni<sub>12</sub>} core. X-ray single crystal diffraction demonstrate that [7]rotaxanes are formed, with a range of conformations in the crystal. Small angle X-ray scattering supported by molecular dynamic simulations demonstrates that the large molecules are stable in solution and also show that the conformers present in solution are not thos ...[more]
