The field of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) has advanced rapidly in recent
years, with much work focused on their use in materials, sensing, and catalysis. However …

Molecular machines transduce energy from one form to another through controlled motion in
response to stimuli. Despite the ubiquitous use of molecular machines in biology …

Catenanes, a distinctive category of mechanically interlocked molecules composed of
intertwined macrocycles, have undergone significant advancements since their initial stages …

Rotaxanes, pseudorotaxanes, and catenanes have attracted the interest of many
researchers because of the special features provided by the mechanical bond. The selective …

Bistable [c 2] daisy chain rotaxanes with respective extended and contracted forms of [c 2] A
and [c 2] B containing a blue-emissive anthracene (AN) donor and orange-emissive …

Leonardo da Vinci's 15th-century design of flying machines, inspired by the anatomy and
flight of birds, stands as classic example of organismal biomimetics. His sketches of …

Addressing control over molecular machines resulting in variable output modulation by
mimicking nature mechanisms is a current hot topic. The exploitation of reversibility in …

Anion templation strategies have facilitated the synthesis of various catenane and rotaxane
hosts capable of strong and selective binding of anions in competitive solvents. However …

Artificial molecular machines have captured the full attention of the scientific community
since Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Fraser Stoddart, and Ben Feringa were awarded the 2016 …

In this study, we show the effect of the gem-dimethyl substitution at the four benzylic carbons
of the ring on the internal dynamics of two-station [2] rotaxanes. Such structural modification …
