Mechanically interlocked molecules have found extensive applications in areas all across
the physical sciences, from materials to catalysis and sensing. However, introducing …

Rotaxanes with well‐defined ring sequences are attractive synthetic goals in the
construction of functional materials associated with molecular shuttles and switches …

Rotaxanes, pseudorotaxanes, and catenanes have attracted the interest of many
researchers because of the special features provided by the mechanical bond. The selective …

Based on a [2] rotaxane precursor with exchangeable pentafluorophenyl ester stoppers, a
new wheel-assembling approach has been successfully developed for the precise …

Synthesizing doubly threaded [3] rotaxanes requires the use of larger rings than more
traditional singly threaded [2] rotaxanes. A key challenge in accessing stable doubly …

In our daily life, some of the most valuable commodities are preprogrammed or
preassembled by a manufacturer; the end-user puts together the final product and gathers …

A precise structural determination of supramolecular architectures is a non‐trivial challenge.
This daunting task can be made even more difficult when interlocked species are to be …

The ability of various hydrogen‐bonded resorcinarene‐based capsules to bind α, ω‐
alkylbisDABCOnium (DnD) guests of different lengths was investigated in solution and in the …

La presente tesis doctoral presentada como compendio de publicaciones se centra en el
