Pillar [n] arenes are pillar-shaped macrocyclic compounds owing to the methylene bridges
linking the para-positions of the units. Owing to their unique pillar-shaped structures, these …

Mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs), such as rotaxanes, catenanes, and molecular
knots, have attracted significant interest because of their unique properties originating from …

Mechanically inter-locked molecules (MIMs) mainly including rotaxanes and
pseudorotaxanes have attracted enormous attention for the fabrication of molecular …

Are they still electrifying? Electrochemically switchable rotaxanes are well known for their
ability to efficiently undergo changes of (co-) conformation and properties under redox …

Detailed investigations into the stepwise bis‐functionalization of a pillar [5] arene‐containing
rotaxane building block have been carried out. Upon a first stopper exchange, the pillar [5] …

Multi‐branched molecules have recently demonstrated interesting behaviour as charge‐
transporting materials within the fields of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). For this reason …

The electrochemical behavior of a giant rotaxane bearing 10 electroactive ferrocene centers
has been analyzed by both fast scan cyclic voltammetry and impedance measurements. The …

Pillar [5] arene‐containing [2] rotaxanes have been efficiently prepared under solvent‐free
conditions. Specifically, solid‐to‐solid ball‐milling of primary or secondary amine reagents …
