Mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) have great potential in the development of
molecular machinery due to their intercomponent dynamics. The incorporation of these …

Mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs), such as rotaxanes, catenanes, and molecular
knots, have attracted significant interest because of their unique properties originating from …

Despite dramatic advances in the template-directed synthesis of archetypal [2] rotaxanes,
higher order rotaxanes with multiple molecular components (rings or dumbbells) are …

Advances in supramolecular chemistry are often underpinned by the development of
fundamental building blocks and methods enabling their interconversion. In this work, we …

Are they still electrifying? Electrochemically switchable rotaxanes are well known for their
ability to efficiently undergo changes of (co-) conformation and properties under redox …

A tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)-containing crown ether macrocycle with Cs symmetry was
designed to implement planar chirality into a redox-active [2] rotaxane. The directionality of …

A series of multistimuli-responsive [2] rotaxanes with a naphthalimide-functionalized
macrocycle threaded through an axle containing a photochromic spiropyran (SP) or …

Mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) show several applications as molecular
machines, catalysts, and appear as potential structures for ion recognition. Importantly, the …

The beauty and utility of mechanically interlocked architectures have received considerable
notice from scientists in the past several decades. Plentiful scientific and technological …
