The widespread use of molecular machines in biology has long suggested that great
rewards could come from bridging the gap between synthetic molecular systems and the …

As our understanding and control of intra-and intermolecular interactions evolve, ever more
complex molecular systems are synthesized and assembled that are capable of performing …

Abstract Nonconjugated hydrocarbons, like bicyclo [1.1. 1] pentane, bicyclo [2.2. 2] octane,
triptycene, and cubane are a unique class of rigid linkers. Due to their similarity in size and …

The past quarter of a century has witnessed an increasing engagement on the part of
physicists and chemists in the design and synthesis of molecular machines de novo. This …

Surface and interfacial chemistry is of fundamental importance in functional nanomaterials
applied in catalysis, energy storage and conversion, medicine, and other nanotechnologies …

Dynamic processes have many implications in functional molecules, including catalysts,
enzymes, host-guest complexes, and molecular machines. Here, we demonstrate via …

Research directed toward the goal of molecular gyroscopes since the coverage of a
previous review (2002) is described. Such species are a subclass of molecular rotors, which …

Host-guest complex solid state molecular motion is a critical but underexplored
phenomenon. In principle, it can be used to control molecular machines that function in the …

Herein we report a crystalline molecular rotor with rotationally modulated triplet emission
that displays macroscopic dynamics in the form of crystal moving and/or jumping, also …

Chemists have learned how to create molecules that mimic the rudimentary motions
exhibited at the macroscopic level by some of the components of modern machinery. Almost …
