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

" The story is told by THE inventor-pioneer-master in the field and is accompanied by
amazing illustrations...[it] will become an absolute reference and a best seller in chemistry!" …

The history of isomeric types of organic molecules has passed through several important
stages:(1) Molecules that differ from each other with different numbers and types of atoms;(2) …

In this review, a comprehensive summary of supramolecular transformations within discrete
coordination-driven supramolecular architectures, including helices, metallacycles …

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 …

Active metal template synthesis is a powerful new strategy for the construction of rotaxanes,
catenanes and other mechanically interlocked molecular structures. The key feature is that …

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 …

We report a new class of synthetic molecular pumps that use a stepwise information ratchet
mechanism to achieve the kinetic gating required to sequester their macrocyclic substrates …

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

A synthetic approach to rotaxane architectures is described in which metal atoms catalyze
covalent bond formation while simultaneously acting as the template for the assembly of the …
