S2 1. Materials and Methods

All solvents were distilled or dried before use according to the general purification procedure.

Commercially available reagents were used without further purification unless otherwise noted. All

reactions were carried out under inert atmosphere of argon. SiO2 column chromatography was performed

using Wakogel C-400HG (Wako Pure Chemical Industries Ltd.). Al2O3 column chromatography was performed using Merck Aluminum Oxide 90 standardized. sec-Ammonium salt 1 and 4 were prepared according to the literature1.

High-resolution mass spectra (HR-MS) data were taken by the National University Corporation, Tokyo

Institute of Technology, Center for Advanced Materials Analysis, on request.

2-2 Polymerization of rotaxanes

Typical polymerization of rotaxane monomer 7

In a schlenk tube, a solution of rotaxane monomer (0.20 mmol) and CuCl(I) (6.0 mg, 60 μmol) in

pyridine (1.0 mL) was heated to 30 ºC with bubbling oxygen. After stirring for 3 h, 10 mL of CHCl3 and

10% NH4Cl aq. were added to the mixture and stirred overnight. The combined organic layer was washed

S14 with water and brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was

dissolved in CHCl3 (5.0 mL) and poured into n-hexane (50 mL), followed by the formed precipitates were collected by filtration.

Scheme S6

Polymerization of rotaxane 2

2 (0.2 g, 0.2 mmol) and CuCl(I) (6.0 mg, 60 μmol) were used and stirred for 3 h. However the polymerization did not proceeded. When the reaction mixture was heated to 60 ºC, gel product was obtained.

Scheme S7

Polymerization of rotaxane 3•TFA

3•TFA (0.2 g, 0.2 mmol) and CuCl(I) (6.0 mg, 60 μmol) were used and stirred for 3 h. however the

S15 polymerization did not proceeded, and the oligomer and monomer were recovered.

A solution of poly-3•TFA (15 mg, 15 μmol) in CH2Cl2 (10 mL) was washed with 10% aqueous Na2CO3
