We report the synthesis and photophysical investigation of a series of rotaxanes in which the physical confinement of the donor and acceptor (DA) pair leads, in some cases, to emissive exciplexes. As a comparison, we examined the photoincluced charge-transfer processes in the same DA mixtures under intermolecular conditions. The interlocked configuration of the rotaxane facilitates. pi orbital overlap of the excited state DA pair by keeping their center-to-center distance extremely small. This increased interaction between the DA pair significantly lowers the activation energy for exciplex formation (E.) and helps stabilize the highly polar charge-transfer complex. We find that the stabilizing effect of the rotaxane architecture compensates for the modest thermodynamic driving force for some charge-transfer interactions. In addition, we examined the temperature dependence on the rotaxanes ' optical properties. Metal coordination to the tetrahedral cavity disrupts the cofacial conformation of the DA pair and quenches the fluorescence. Binding of alkali metal ions to the 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT)-based rotaxane, however, gives rise to the emergence of a new weak emission band at even lower energies, indicative of a new emissive exciplex.
