Pillar[5]arene based molecular machines by Patel, Arjun

“…Examples such as molecular shuttles, motors and switches have been produced and are usually composed of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) such as rotaxanes and catenanes. Due to the lack of chemical bonds between the components, these molecules possess translational and rotational motions with respect to one another, a key aspect as to why MIMs are ideal candidates for molecular machines. …”
