The addition of acids to the amine‐type [2]rotaxane solution generated corresponding crown ether/ammonium‐type [2]rotaxanes, which were purified by silica gel column chromatography as ammonium salts. The isolated yields of the [2]rotaxanes, possessing a variety of anions, depended on the acidity and polarity of the counter anions. The behaviours of the ammonium‐type [2]rotaxanes on thin‐layer chromatography (TLC) silica gel reflected the properties of the counter anions. The treatment of the amine‐type [2]rotaxane with acids afforded the corresponding ammonium‐type [2]rotaxanes bearing several different anions. The ammonium‐type [2]rotaxanes behaved similarly to the purified [2]rotaxanes on the TLC silica gel. Furthermore, we succeeded in the analysis of anions using mixtures of the amine‐type [2]rotaxane and salts in an appropriate solvent. We demonstrated the detection of anions by the combination of TLC and the utilization of the [2]rotaxane probe.}, title = {Utilization of a Crown Ether/Amine‐Type Rotaxane as a Probe for the Versatile Detection of Anions and Acids by Thin‐Layer Chromatography}, year = {2020} }
