We report a molecular cage-based [2]rotaxane that functions as an artificial molecular muscle through the control of the addition and removal of fluoride anions. The percentage change in molecular length of the [2]rotaxane is about 36% between the stretched and contracted states, which is larger than the percentage change (similar to 27%) in human muscle.
