Fig. 14 Molecular structures of monomers M, α-CD, and bis-SC4A and a schematic description of
the self-assembly process for forming α-CD-based pseudo[3]rotaxane R, the supramolecular
polymer P with azobenzene in the trans configuration, and the corresponding UV-irradiated P
containing cis-azobenzene (BrÀ, IÀ, and Na+ ions have been omitted for clarity). (Reprinted with
