The synthesis and anionrecognition properties of four novel [2]rotaxane host architectures containing additional alkyl functionality integrated within macrocyclic and axle components to shield the binding cavity from the solvent are described. The rotaxane species containing a tetra(methyl)-functionalised macrocycle component is found to be a weaker anion complexant than the equivalent unfunctionalised
