Template‐Controlled Mechanochemical Dissociation of a Rotaxane The presence or absence of the Pd template used in rotaxane formation selectively leads to two different mechanochemical dissociation pathways. The Pd maintains a smaller cavity size that favors diss....

Look
if you had one ring
with one Pd in it,
and pull everything onto one thread
in one moment.
would you break it
or just let it slip?
