Although catenated cages have been widely constructed due to their unique and elegant topological structures, cyclic catenanes formed by the connection of multiple catenane units have been rarely reported. Herein, based on the orthogonal metal‐coordination‐driven self‐assembly, we prepare a series of heterometallic [2]catenanes and cyclic bis[2]catenanes, whose structures are clearly evidenced by single‐crystal X‐ray analysis. Owing to the multiple positively charged nature, as well as the potential synergistic effect of the Cu(I) and Pt(II) metal ions, the cyclic bis[2]catenanes display broad‐spectrum antibacterial activity. This work not only provides an efficient strategy for the construction of heterometallic [2]catenanes and cyclic bis[2]catenanes but also explores their applications as superior antibacterial agents, which will promote the construction of advanced supramolecular structures for biomedical applications.

Synthesizing molecules with significant topological features, such as catenanes, tailored with specific groups to confer desired functionality, is essential for investigating various properties arising from the entanglement due to mechanical bonds. This investigation can pave the way for uncovering novel functional materials employing mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs). In this direction, we have synthesized a p‐donor (D) and p‐acceptor (A) functionalized [2]catenane using a non‐labile Co(III) metal ion as a template with pyridine‐diamide templating center and utilizing click reaction for ring‐closing. The donor group is a fluorene derivative, and the acceptor is a benzophenazine derivative, commonly employed in synthesizing conjugated polymers for various optoelectronic devices. Synthetically, the acceptor group was introduced into a macrocycle with a pyridine diamide unit. It was then threaded with a ligand having alkyne terminals to obtain the desired [2]pseudorotaxane utilizing cobalt ion as a template. Ring‐closing was then performed with a di‐azide functionalized molecule with the donor chromophore. The desired D‐A functionalized [2]catenane is obtained after demetalation. All the starting materials, macrocycle, and entangled structures have been characterized by 1H‐NMR, 13C‐NMR, and mass spectroscopy. Some of these materials are also characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray analysis. The photophysical properties are studied by UV‐visible and fluorescence spectroscopy.
