Abstract

The dynamics of electrochemically driven, bistable molecular mechanical switches—such as certain nondegenerate, twostation, donor–acceptor [2] catenanes and [2] rotaxanes—have been the subject of numerous experimental investigations [1–3] in the solution phase, in which the general mechanistic details of the redox-activated switching processes are becoming increasingly well understood.[4] These molecular machines may have many ...
