Non‐equilibrium chemical systems underpin multiple domains of contemporary interest,
including supramolecular chemistry, molecular machines, systems chemistry, prebiotic …

Mechanically interlocked molecules are perhaps best known as components of molecular
machines, a view further reinforced by the Nobel Prize in 2016 to Stoddart and Sauvage …

We report a new class of synthetic molecular pumps that use a stepwise information ratchet
mechanism to achieve the kinetic gating required to sequester their macrocyclic substrates …

The click concept, as originally discussed by Sharpless, Finn, and Kolb, is both powerful and
simple. Kolb et al. suggested that in the search for functional molecules, chemists should …

Over the last two decades ratchet mechanisms have transformed the understanding and
design of stochastic molecular systems—biological, chemical and physical—in a move away …

Mechanically interlocked molecules, such as rotaxanes and catenanes, are composed of
two or more covalent subcomponents threaded through one another such that they cannot …

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

Challenges for the development of efficacious new superbases include their ease of
synthesis, chemical stability, and high basicity, while minimizing nucleophilicity is important …

We report a one-step enantioselective synthesis of mechanically planar chiral [2] rotaxanes.
Previous studies of such molecules have generally involved the separation of enantiomers …

Mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) have gained attention in the field of catalysis
due to their unique molecular properties. Central to MIMs, rotaxanes are highly promising …
