Abstract
An octacationic homo[2]catenane comprised of two mechanically interlocked cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) rings has been obtained from the oxidation of the septacationic monoradical with nitrosonium hexafluoroantimonate. The nanoconfinement of normally repulsive bipyridinium units results in the enforced pi-overlap of eight positively charged pyridinium rings in a volume of
