An artificial molecular pump

TL;DR: This work reports a wholly artificial compound that acts on small molecules to create a gradient in their local concentration by using redox energy and precisely organized noncovalent bonding interactions to pump positively charged rings from solution and ensnare them around an oligomethylene chain, as part of a kinetically trapped entanglement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanically bonded macromolecules

TL;DR: This tutorial review describes the syntheses and properties of a library of diverse mechanically bonded macromolecules, which covers main- chain, side-chain, bridged, and pendant oligo/polycatenanes, (ii) main-chain oligO/polyrotaxane, (iii) poly[c2]daisy chains, and finally (iv) mechanically interlocked dendrimers.

The Nature of the Mechanical Bond: From Molecules to Machines

TL;DR: The Nature of the Mechanical Bond as mentioned in this paper is a comprehensive review of much of the contemporary literature on the mechanical bond, accessible to newcomers and veterans alike, including Supramolecular, covalent, and statistical approaches to the formation of entanglements that underpin mechanical bonds in molecules and macromolecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Design and Optimization of Molecular Nanovalves Based on Redox-Switchable Bistable Rotaxanes

TL;DR: Redox-controllable molecular nanovalves based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles have been fabricated, using two bistable [2]rotaxane-based gatekeepers with different spacer lengths between their recognition sites as the gatekeepers.
Journal ArticleDOI

π–π INTERACTIONS IN SELF‐ASSEMBLY

TL;DR: The recent surge of interest in the control of molecular organization in both the solution state and the solid state (i.e. self-assembly) has led researchers to recognize increasingly the importance of weak non-covalent interactions as discussed by the authors.
