Terminology and nomenclature for macromolecular rotaxanes and pseudorotaxanes (IUPAC Recommendations 2012)

“…Since macromolecular rotaxanes possess structural features of both macromolecules and rotaxanes, the nomenclature for macromolecular rotaxanes is a combination of the nomenclatures for rotaxanes [1] and macromolecules [12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

“…• IUPAC nomenclature for macromolecules [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] recommends two basic generic formats of systematic names for macromolecules:…”

“…for the source-based names of a macromolecule (-conn-is connective such as -co-, -alt-, -stat-, -ran- [13] characterizing the type of the distribution of monomeric units [23] along the chain of a copolymeric macromolecule).…”

“…(b) Macromolecular threading and macrocyclic components may be named by either source-based [12][13][14][15] or structure-based [16][17][18][19] nomenclature systems. Structure-based nomenclature is preferred, but source-based nomenclature is acceptable.…”

“…The nomenclature recommendations for macromolecular rotaxanes and pseudorotaxanes presented in this document were developed by combining the nomenclature principles for low-molar-mass (low-M) rotaxanes [1] and the nomenclature principles for macromolecules (polymers) established in published IUPAC recommendations [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Low-molar-mass components of rotaxanes are named according to IUPAC recommendations on organic and inorganic nomenclature [20][21][22].…”
