TL;DR: In this paper, a pyridyl-modified molecular motor ligand (MPY) was used to coordinate with geometrically distinct di-Pt(II) acceptors to form discrete metallacycles of different sizes and shapes.

TL;DR: A tri-stable switchable catalyst is encoded by pH-controlled dynamic self-assembly of gold and TiO2 nanoparticles by precise adjustment of the integrated dynamic covalent and noncovalent self- assembly process.

TL;DR: This is the first demonstration of a molecular motor to rotate against the appreciably noncovalent interactions between dibenzo-24-crown-8 and N-methyltriazolium moieties comprising the rotaxane unit, showing operational capabilities of molecular motors to perform more complex tasks.

TL;DR: A novel photo-responsive nano-container was successfully constructed based on well-defined vesicles formed by an amphiphilic overcrowded alkene switch that could show potential in remote drug delivery systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, a chemically-controlled [2] rotaxane molecular shuttle was successfully designed and synthesized and a H2S-responsive bulk barrier was introduced between the two identical recognition stations of the [2]-rotaxane to prevent dynamic shuttling of the macrocycle.
