The nature of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) has continued to encourage
researchers to design and construct a variety of high-performance materials. Introducing …

The rapid development of the science and technology of organic semiconductors has
already led to mass application of organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) in television …

Mechanically interlocked polymers (MIPs), such as polyrotaxanes and polycatenanes, are
polymer architectures that incorporate a mechanical bond. In a polyrotaxane, the …

Hierarchical structure of conjugated polymers is critical to dominating their optoelectronic
properties and applications. Compared to nonplanar conformational segments, coplanar …

The award of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2000 to Professors Alan Heeger, Alan

A series of ten 2, 3, 4, 5-tetraphenylsiloles with different 1, 1-substituents [XYSi (CPh) 4]
were prepared, and three of these, ie, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5-hexaphenylsilole [X= Y= Ph (3)], 1 …

Rotaxanes are molecular species consisting of one or more rings and one or more axes,
where the dissociation of a ring from an axis is hindered by bulky groups (so-called …

Fully revised and expanded, this second edition of A. Blythe's successful title on electrical
properties of polymers covers both the fundamental and recent developments in this …

In the past three decades, chemistry has changed from focusing on a single molecule to
molecular assemblies. Through the discovery of macrocycles, the chemistry of molecular …

The year 2022 marks the 30th anniversary of the first reports of polyrotaxanes in the
scientific literature. During the past three decades, many combinations of molecular rings …
