3. Structure of Rotaxane Ring component Dumbbell component Stopper unit Rotaxane Shuttling (moving in parallel) ☆ A rotaxane is a mechanically interlocked molecular architecture consisting of a dumbbell-shaped component that is threaded through a ring component. ☆ The ring component can not be pulled out because the bulky substituents called ‘Stoppers’ exist at both edges of axle, then this component is called ‘Dumbbell’.

5. Idea of RGB dye ・ The color of this three-station catenane changes as a function of the CBPQT 4+ ring location which, in principle, can be controlled by the oxidation of each station in turn. Color change scheme of the RGB dye Stoddart, J. F. et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 15994.

8. UV-vis Absorption Spectra UV-vis absorption spectra (rt, MeCN, 1 mM) of (a) a 1:1 mixture of DFBZ and CBPQT·4PF 6, (b) a 1:1 mixture of DFBZ-TEG and CBPQT·4PF 6, and (c) the blue-colored [2]rotaxane 1·4PF 6. A photograph of the blue-colored [2]rotaxane solution is shown in the inset. The introduction of tetraethyleneglycol chains ⇒ a change of the maximum absorption wavelength (λ max ) from 570 to 610 nm. ⇒ the HOMO energy level of DFBZ changes as a direct result of the alkylation

9. Cyclic Voltammetry The redox potentials of (a) are higher than those of (b). ⇒ consistent with UV-vis results. +0.76 +0.95 +0.65 +0.83 +0.85 +1.02 distorting ⇒ assuming that the flexible linker enables the ring to move freely around the station. ⇒ the broadening of the redox CV peak

10. Cyclic Voltammetry +0.65 +0.83 +0.85 +1.02 Shifting in the same magnitude ⇒ ring translocated slightly from the DFBZ station to TEG spacer ⇒ influence of the CBPQT 4+ ring to second redox potential

12. Summary We have designed, synthesized, and characterized DFBZ-TEG and the [2]rotaxane consisting of DFBZ-TEG and CBPQT 4+. We confirmed the blue color of the CT absorption band between DFBZ-TEG and CBPQT ・ 4PF 6. The acquired data on model compounds –absorption spectra, and electrochemical properties – indicates that the design of an RGB dye using the discussed donor –acceptor motif is attainable.

14. Introduction ・ The color of the complex with CBPQT 4+ as the host is determined by the wavelength of the CT absorption band. ・ The absorption wavelength depends on the energy gap between the LUMO of CBPQT 4+ and the HOMO of the guest molecule. We can generate a range of different colors by altering the HOMO energy level of the guest molecules. Guest
