Transition-metal-containing rotaxanes can behave as linear motors at the molecular level.
The molecules are set into motion either by an electrochemical reaction or using a chemical …

30 years of IrIII coordination chemistry with polyimine-type ligands are summarized. Over
the years, milder reaction conditions have been used for their synthesis, allowing the …

The descriptors" Starburst, dendrimers, arborols, cascade molecules, and hyperbranched"
all describe specific geometric forms of structure. Recent progress in understanding the …

1. Introduction A photon is at the same time a quantum of energy and a bit ofinformation. The
interaction of light with “matter” can therefore be used for energy or information purposes. …

The electrocatalytic properties of Ni cyclam2+ inC02 reduction have been studied. The
influence of various experimental factors on the course of the reaction has been investigated. …

The stability constants of the [2]-cryptate inclusioncomplexes formed by the macrobicyclic
ligands 1-6 with alkali and alkaline-earth cations have been measured. The origin of the …

Ru (phen) 32+ bound to double-helical DNA displays an increase in luminescence owing to
intercalation; emission from the met-al-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited state …

Catenane, Rotaxane und Knoten-die Synthese und Eigenschaften ineinander zu komplexen
Gebilden verketteter und verzahnter Moleküle stehen im Mittelpunkt dieses Ausflugs in die …

Copper(I)‐induced template synthesis produces a linear rotaxane dimer capable of undergoing
contraction and stretching motions of large amplitude under the action of a chemical …

1.1. History and Background Knots and links are all around us (Figure 1). Be they functional
or decorative, we encounter them constantly, when, for example, tying simple bow knots in …
