A rotaxane (from Latin rota 'wheel' and axis 'axle') is a mechanically interlocked molecular architecture consisting of a dumbbell-shaped molecule which...

complexes cucurbiturils have been employed as the macrocycles component of a rotaxane. After formation of the supramolecular assembly or threaded complex with...

an artificial molecular machine (AMM) was reported in 1994, featuring a rotaxane with a ring and two different possible binding sites. In 2016 the Nobel...

precursors to mechanically interlocked molecular architectures, such as rotaxanes and catenanes. Illustrative, α-cyclodextrin form second-sphere coordination...

dethreading by two bulky end groups. As oligomeric or polymeric species of rotaxanes, polyrotaxanes are also capable of converting energy input to molecular...

Graphical representation of a rotaxane, useful as a molecular switch...

of mechanically interlocked molecular architectures include catenanes, rotaxanes, molecular knots, and molecular Borromean rings. Work in this area was...

related to other mechanically interlocked molecular architectures, such as rotaxanes, molecular knots or molecular Borromean rings. Recently the terminology...

used as single-molecule components in a nanoelectronic device, such as rotaxane. Synthetic chemical methods can be used to create synthetic molecular motors...
