Synthesis of functionalized [2]rotaxanes and their potential use in ion transport and atomic force microscopy

The synthesis and characterization of molecules possessing moving parts is a great area of interest: these molecules can act as “molecular machines” carrying out tasks that molecules with fixed conventional architectures cannot do. Chapter one gives a brief introduction to rotaxanes as unique and su...
