DOI: 10.1039/c9qm00546c
Abstract: Mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs), especially rotaxanes and catenanes, allow large-amplitude movement at the molecular level, making them the perfect prototypes for artificial molecular switches and machines. By applying external stimuli, the noncovalent interactions between their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/d0sc06876d
Abstract: This work describes unique molecular motions of ferrocene-containing interlocked molecules observed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The rotational flexibility of ferrocene is achieved using combinations of ferrocene-tethered ammonium and 30-membered ring dibenzo-crown ether. By contrast, ferrocene… read more here.
