Journal ArticleDOI
Macroscopic transport by synthetic molecular machines.
Jose Berna,David A. Leigh,Monika Lubomska,Sandra M. Mendoza,Emilio M. Pérez,Petra Rudolf,Gilberto Teobaldi,Francesco Zerbetto +7 more
TL;DR: A wholly synthetic molecular system that converts an external energy source (light) into biased brownian motion to transport a macroscopic cargo and do measurable work is described.

Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic "Active-Metal" template synthesis of [2]rotaxanes, [3]rotaxanes, and molecular shuttles, and some observations on the mechanism of the Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne 1,3-cycloaddition
Vincent Aucagne,Jose Berna,James D. Crowley,Stephen M. Goldup,Kevin D. Hänni,David A. Leigh,Paul J. Lusby,Vicki E. Ronaldson,Alexandra M. Z. Slawin,and Aurélien Viterisi,D. Barney Walker +10 more
TL;DR: A synthetic approach to rotaxane architectures is described in which metal atoms catalyze covalent bond formation while simultaneously acting as the template for the assembly of the mechanically interlocked structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Azodicarboxamides as template binding motifs for the building of hydrogen-bonded molecular shuttles.
TL;DR: Azodicarboxamides (R( 2)NCON=NCONR(2)) are shown to act as new templates for the assembly of unprecedented azo-functionalized hydrogen-bond-assembled [2]rotaxanes, which can be reversibly and efficiently interconverted with their hydrazo forms through a hydrogenation-dehydrogenation strategy of the nitrogen-nitrogen bond.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cadiot–Chodkiewicz Active Template Synthesis of Rotaxanes and Switchable Molecular Shuttles with Weak Intercomponent Interactions†
Jose Berna,Stephen M. Goldup,Ai-Lan Lee,David A. Leigh,Mark D. Symes,Gilberto Teobaldi,Francesco Zerbetto +6 more
TL;DR: Weak interaction, switchable, rotaxane-based molecular shuttles, in which the positional fidelity of the macrocycle is conferred by a single hydrogen bond in each state, are constructed through the high-yielding and selective active template heterocoupling of different functionalized alkynes using the Cadiot–Chodkiewicz reaction.
