Influencing rotational and translational motion in stimuli-responsive hydrogen-bonded [2]rotaxanes

The controlled translocation of submolecular units is seen as an important requirement for the future development of “machines” which function through mechanical motion at the molecular level. Mechanically-interlocked molecules, <i>i.e.</i> catenanes and rotaxanes, are ideal candidates f...
