Abstract

The natural phenomenon of self-assembly has been used to make complex unnatural products. These new compounds have taken the form of catenanes and rotaxanes. We have identifed several polymeric architectures containing the catenane and rotaxane motifs, and then described how the model structures, which we have identified and actually realized as chemical compounds, can be employed to assess the feasibility of introducing mechanical linkages into novel polymers by means of self-assembly processes.
