AbstractRotaxanes, formed by an axis through the cavity of a macrocycle, are promising systems for the construction of molecular machines. A very limited number of experimental techniques are available for mechanistic studies since only mechanical bonds are formed, being NMR one of the most widely used. The major inconvenience derived from NMR use is the time-scale for threading/dethreading processes lasting a few minutes in the case of faster processes. In the present manuscript, we report the application of a new kinetic methodology based on a displacement assay for cyclodextrin-based pseudorotaxane formation. By coupling a very fast (microseconds time-scale) binding/dissociation of nitrophenol to α-CD with a dicationic axle threading/dethreading process, we have been able to study kinetic processes taking place in the millisecond time-scale.

This work is, most of all, designed to wrestle with taken-for-granted explanations as to how hanzi is composed and in what ways the composition the Four Ways of Writing (四書) can be analysed. Beginning with posing a self-reflective question on the academic identities of us, the hanzi civilisation researchers, and looking for a possible answer to it within the context of an Eagletonian conceptualisation of human animality or creatureliness, the work then methodologises the multi-dialectical analysis by virtue of méta-linguistique, transduction, and abstraction concreté. The full-scale analysis of the Four Ways of Writing comes next, taking four steps: first, synthesising the existing definitions, explanations and interpretations of them; second, abstracting the synthesis up to the multi-dialectical analysis; third, introducing a topology of the Four Ways of Writing; and fourth, analysing characters related to and expanding from two radical characters of 門 and 刀 with the aid of a dynamics of trialectics between the form, sound and meaning. Resting upon all the analyses performed, the work suggests the following conclusion. Amongst hanzi’s main characteristics is morphographicality (表形性), still the most distinctive within the analytical framework of the Four Ways of Writing. It is the very form of hanzi, as a matter of fact, that also turns out to be multi-dialectical: first, that which constitutes writing as the character trialectically related with both the sound and meaning; second, that which characterises writing as écriture of the dialectical relationship between human beings and nature; and last, that which dialectically elucidates who we are and what we are capable of.
