Mary O'Reilly DescriptionThis illustration was prepared for a lecture on multivalency, and describes a pseudopolyrotaxane, consisting of several carbohydrate-modified cyclodextrin molecules assembled onto a carbon chain. Positively-charged viologen “speed bumps” on the chain maintain spacing between the cyclodextrins, while allowing rotational and translational degrees of freedom.
