This review highlights the major efforts devoted to the development of molecular gears over
the past 40 years, from pioneering covalent bis‐triptycyl systems undergoing intramolecular …

The widespread use of molecular-level motion in key natural processes suggests that great
rewards could come from bridging the gap between the present generation of synthetic …

Little is known about the mechanisms behind the bistability (memory) of molecular spin
transition compounds over broad temperature ranges (> 100 K). To address this point, we …

Since the first preparation of triptycene, great progress has been made with respect to its
synthesis and the understanding of its properties. Interest in triptycene-based systems is …

The general principles guiding the design of molecular machines based on interlocked
structures are well known. Nonetheless, the identification of suitable molecular components …

Crystalline solids are a promising platform for the development of molecular machines. They
have the potential of combining the molecular-level control of physical properties caused by …

Mastering intermolecular gearing is crucial for the emergence of complex functional
nanoscale machineries. However, achieving correlated motion within trains of molecular …

Rosenthal's‐reagent‐mediated intramolecular cyclometallation of α, α‐dialkynyldipyrrin
