摘要

MIMs have been synthesized using various synthetic strategies that are constantly being optimized to reach higher yields that lead to novel architectures. The rational design of these architectures integrating multiple subcomponents that are not connected by covalent bonds is key to advancing the field of MIMs. Designing atomically precise molecules implies reaching a high level of understanding of their behavior and working processes. Recent analytical characterization techniques (e.g., spectroscopic, ensemble, single molecule) are being used to obtain precise descriptions of MIMs at the nanoscale. MIM-based proof-of-concept research is now flourishing, especially in the artificial molecular machine community. The next evolutionary step is to address applications that employ unprecedented molecular functionalities to relocate MIMs from ‘basic chemistry’ to ‘applied nanoengineering’. Mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs), such as rotaxanes, catenanes, and molecular knots, have attracted significant interest because of their unique properties originating from their mechanically bonded components. Recently, MIMs have been employed in increasingly diverse architectures thanks to the tools of rational molecular design and the ability to incorporate functions in a precise manner. Here, we discuss advances in MIM synthesis, the fundamental understanding of their working processes, and applications exploiting their singular behavior. This review covers some of the most recent studies demonstrating the widespread interest in MIMs by scientists pursuing the ultimate goal of designing functional molecular machines that surpass their natural analogs or exhibit unprecedented properties.
