This tutorial review summarises different aspects of cooperativity in supramolecular
complexes. We propose a systematic categorisation of cooperativity into cooperative …

The field of mechanically interlocked molecules that employ a handcuff component are
reviewed. The variety of rotaxane and catenane structures that use the handcuff motif to …

The challenge of quantitatively forming self‐assembled heterodimers without other
equilibrium by‐products is overcome through self‐sorting favored by the introduction of …

With the rise of artificial molecular machines, control of motion on the nanoscale has
become a major contemporary research challenge. Tetrathiafulvalenes (TTFs) are one of the …

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

A tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)-containing crown ether macrocycle with Cs symmetry was
designed to implement planar chirality into a redox-active [2] rotaxane. The directionality of …

As the electronics industry is integrating more and more new molecules to utilize them in
logic circuits and memories to achieve ultra-high efficiency and device density, many …

In this research, we report that the acid/base-switchable molecular shuttle without any
photoresponsive group can be controlled photochemically by coupling to the indazole …

Reversible oxidation reactions in electrochemically switchable oligorotaxanes with
tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) decorated 24‐crown‐8 ether wheels generate intramolecular mixed …

We develop a self-immolative rotaxane sensor for fluoride sensing based on host–guest
interactions between pillar [5] arene and fluoride-promoted cleavage of Si–O bond. Because …
