Macrocyclic structures are common synthetic targets in drug discovery,(1, 2) and therefore,
interest in their study is continuously increasing in this field.(3, 4) A classic example is …

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 …

Reversible covalent bond formation under thermodynamic control adds reactivity to self-
assembled supramolecular systems, and is therefore an ideal tool to assess complexity of …

In this paper, there is an attempt to review the developments in the design and synthesis of
pyridine containing [1+ 1] and [2+ 2] macrocyclic Schiff base ligands, formed by …

The imine bond–formed by the reversible condensation of an amine and an aldehyde–and
its applications as a dynamic covalent bond in the template-directed synthesis of molecular …

In this critical review, we discuss switching of the light-powered bistable rotaxanes and
catenanes and highlight the practical applications of some of these systems. Photoactive …

Adaptive bionic self-correcting behavior offers an attractive property for chemical systems.
Here, based on the dynamic feature of imine formation, we propose a solvent-responsive …

The field of mechanically interlocked molecules that employ a handcuff component are
reviewed. The variety of rotaxane and catenane structures that use the handcuff motif to …

Mechanically interlocked molecules, such as catenanes and rotaxanes, are at the heart of
the development of molecular machines chemistry. They are able to self‐organize, self …
