A novel type of mechanical switch is described in which light-induced translation of a macrocycle in a [2]rotaxane quenches anthracene fluorescence. Features of the system include the remarkable 200:1 difference in fluorescence intensity between the two positional states of the molecule ( approximately 85:1 between one isomer and the photostationary state). In principle the same concept could be used for mechanically switching virtually any property that can be influenced by functional group proximity effects.
