Abstract

Rotaxane structures which provide functional insulation to conducting polymers can provide over a 4000-fold redn. in cond. over non-rotaxane structures and with electronically active copper ions in the rotaxane units the cond. increases by more than 80 times relative to the metal-free analog.
