In this review, we describe the recent advances in supramolecular helical assemblies
formed from chiral and achiral small molecules, oligomers (foldamers), and helical and …

Although chiral mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) have been synthesised and
studied, enantiopure examples are relatively under-represented in the pantheon of reported …

A rotaxane-based molecular shuttle has been synthesized in which the switching of the
position of a fluorescent macrocycle on the thread turns “on” or “off” the circularly polarized …

Mechanically interlocked molecules, such as rotaxanes and catenanes, are composed of
two or more covalent subcomponents threaded through one another such that they cannot …

This review highlights developments since 2008 in the field of polypseudorotaxanes and
polyrotaxanes. Progress in synthetic polyrotaxane chemistry has resulted in the preparation …

Chiral interlocked molecules in which the mechanical bond provides the sole stereogenic
unit are typically produced with no control over the mechanical stereochemistry. Here we …

The synthesis of chiral mechanically interlocked molecules has attracted a lot of attention in
the last few years, with applications in different fields, such as asymmetric catalysis or …

Construction of predominantly one-handed helical polyacetylenes with a desired helix
sense utilizing noncovalent chiral interactions with nonracemic chiral guest compounds …

Interlocked molecules, such as rotaxanes, catenanes, and molecular knots, offer
conceptually new possibilities for the generation of chiral chemosensors and catalysts. Due …

Effective induction of preferred‐handed helicity of polyacetylenes by pendant mechanically
chiral rotaxanes is discussed. Polyacetylenes possessing optically active mechanically …
