A new cryptand/paraquat [2]pseudorotaxane and its crown ether analog were synthesized and charac-terized by proton NMR, mass spectrometry, and single crystal X-ray analysis. The Job plots based on proton NMR data demonstrated that both the complex between cryptand 1 and paraquat derivative 2a and the complex between bis(p-phenylene)-34-crown-10 (3) and paraquat derivative 2b have 1:1 stoichiometry in solution. The apparent association constants (Ka,exp) of 1•2a and 3•2b calculated for 1:1 complexes were 1.4 ( 0.2)  104 and 4.7 ( 0.5)  102 M1, respectively. X-ray analysis showed that 1•2a is stabilized by ten hydrogen bonds and face-to-face -stacking interactions in the solid state, while 3•2b is stabilized by four hydrogen bonds and face-to-face -stacking interactions. As well as in the X-ray structure of 1•2c, a water molecule acts as a hydrogen bridge between the -protons of 2a and the ether oxygen atoms of 1 in 1•2a. The successful preparation of 1•2a demonstrated that the tert-butyl group is not big enough to be a stopper for rotaxanes based on 1.
