Abstract

A large variety of molecular-level machines have been developed over the last decade, 1 accompanying a remarkable advance of supramolecular chemistry. A common and fundamental feature of these machines is the reversible switching of their physicochemical properties or states according to the applied stimulation. Pseudorotaxanes have been proven to be highly useful entities for the construction of artificial molecular machines. 1,2 This is because their assembly and ...
