This Personal Account discusses how molecular simulations help uncover motion, shuttling mechanisms, and kinetics in mechanically interlocked molecules such as rotaxanes and catenanes. Mechanically interlocked molecules, such as rotaxanes and catenanes, display complex internal dynamics and reciprocal motions that are central to their use as artificial

Statistical Mechanics of Rotaxane Switches [PDF]
A solution of rotaxane switches, which can switch their length by external stimuli, is described using statistical thermodynamics. We show that this solution can exhibit different behaviors.

Organic cages are a robust class of molecular hosts with a myriad of applications in materials science. Despite this, there has been a paucity of explorations into the modification of their properties via external functionalization. In this work, [n]rotaxanes featuring unoccupied organic cages as stopper components and a small 2,2’-bipyridine ...

This review summarizes the latest progress of RTP materials with self‐healing and shape–memory functions, in which reversible bonding interactions are the key points. With the careful discussions of the typical strategies and representative works, the intrinsic relationship between dynamic bonding interactions and RTP property is well revealed. Finally,

Stretchable poly[2]rotaxane elastomers
: Mechanically interlocked polymers (MIPs) are promising candidates for the construction of elastomeric materials with desirable mechanical performance on account of their abilities to undergo inherent rotational and translational mechanical movements at

Triacetylated γ‐cyclodextrin incorporated into poly(methyl methacrylate) primarily acted as a rigid filler and reinforced the matrix polymer, with the reinforcement behavior following the Guth–Gold equation. In addition, the glass transition temperature was maintained upon incorporation, indicating that the additive did not plasticize the polymer ...
