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 …

More than a quarter of a century after the first metal template synthesis of a [2] catenane in
Strasbourg, there now exists a plethora of strategies available for the construction of …

We describe the use of the cyaphide‐azide 1, 3‐dipolar cycloaddition reaction for the
synthesis of a new class of inorganic rotaxanes containing gold (I) triazaphosphole stoppers …

The properties of coordination complexes are dictated by both the metals and the ligands.
The use of molecular receptors as second-sphere ligands enables significant modulation of …

Chloride control: The serendipitous discovery of a molecular recognition motif that is
triggered by the formation of an anion-palladium coordination bond is exploited as an …

We report on the use of the hydrogen bond acceptor properties of some phosphorus-
containing functional groups for the assembly of a series of [2] rotaxanes. Phosphinamides …

We report on the use of the hydrogen-bond-accepting properties of neutral nitrone moieties
to prepare benzylic amide macrocycle-containing [2] rotaxanes in yields as high as 70%. X …

The CuAAC active-template approach was exploited to construct rotaxanes incorporating
cage-like silsesquioxane stoppers, namely, POSSaxanes. The compounds were …

Elucidation of the energetic principles of binding affinity and specificity is a central task in
many branches of current sciences: biology, medicine, pharmacology, chemistry, material …

Abstract (Chemical Equation). Taking the Michael: Rotaxanes (see structure) and molecular
shuttles are prepared in up to 99% yield by successive Pd II-promoted 1, 4-conjugate …
