The widespread use of molecular machines in biology has long suggested that great
rewards could come from bridging the gap between synthetic molecular systems and the …

Conspectus More than two decades of investigating the chemistry of bistable mechanically
interlocked molecules (MIMs), such as rotaxanes and catenanes, has led to the advent of …

The development and fabrication of mechanical devices powered by artificial molecular
machines is one of the contemporary goals of nanoscience. Before this goal can be realized …

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

Mechanochromic mechanophores permit the design of polymers that indicate mechanical
events through optical signals. Here we report rotaxane-based supramolecular …

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 …

The tetracationic cyclophane, cyclobis (paraquat‐p‐phenylene), also known as the little blue
box, constitutes a modular receptor that has facilitated the discovery of many host–guest …

Over the last two decades ratchet mechanisms have transformed the understanding and
design of stochastic molecular systems—biological, chemical and physical—in a move away …

Manipulating and controlling the self-organisation of small collections of molecules, as an
alternative to investigating individual molecules, has motivated researchers bent on …

Ein supramolekulares Hydrogel entsteht aus einem wasserlöslichen Polymer, das über Wirt‐
Gast‐Einschlusskomplexe zwischen Cyclodextrin und Ferrocen vernetzt ist. Die Dissoziation …
