Abstract

Catenaries and rotaxanes are molecules based on mechanical bonds. Catenanes are made up with interlocking rings, whereas rotaxanes are molecules consisting of a cyclic component threaded onto a dumbbell-shaped linear component. Although first synthesized in the late sixties, they were considered as curiosities until the template methods (taking advantage of hydrophobic interactions, or using a transition metal or donor-acceptor interactions between aromatic stacks) made them relatively easily available. This allowed for the development of functional catenanes and rotaxanes, that is molecules responding to external stimuli, like injection or removal of electrons, light irradiation, and so on. Examples are rotaxanes and catenanes displaying electrochemically-triggered intramolecular motions such as translation of the ring along the dumbbell axle, rotation of one ring within the other, or photochemically-induced electron transfer from Zn(II)-porphyrin stoppers (electron donors in the excited state) to a Au(III) porphyrin electron acceptor appended to the ring component.
