Sequence isomerism is fundamental to the storage, transfer and expression of information in (bio)macromolecules and artificial polymers. Realization of sequence-specific properties in mechanically bonded molecules is extremely challenging due to the huge synthetic difficulty in the precise and controllable non-covalent interlocking of constitutionally different macrocycles in specific orders within a rotaxane or catenane. This Synpacts article highlights how sequence isomers of multicomponent rotaxanes and catenanes can be obtained by novel synthetic strategies and careful building block design.
