Synthesis of polymer catenanes via a living radical polymerization and supramolecular template approach are demonstrated. The ring closure was performed via atom transfer radical cross coupling (ATRC) to obtain polymer catenanes from the linear polymer metal complex precursor.

Covalent Template-Directed Synthesis: A Powerful Tool for the Construction of Complex Molecules.

Template-directed synthesis has become a powerful methodology to access complex molecules. Noncovalent templating has been widely used in the last few decades, but less attention has been paid to covalent template-directed synthesis, despite the fact that this methodology was used for the first reported synthesis of a catenane. This review highlights the evolution of covalent templating over the last 60 years, thereby providing a toolbox for the design of efficient covalent templating processes.

Cage-catenanes are chemical constructs where two or more cage-like molecules or assemblies are mechanically interlocked together. We report a new class of cage-catenanes where dimeric metal-organic cage-catenanes are linked into larger assemblies through additional bridging metal chloride links. These crystalline materials are obtained from the reaction of tris(nicotinoyl)cyclotriguaiacylene (L1) with Cu(II) salts, and all feature a tetramer of cages where two {Cu(L1)(X)} cages (X=anion) are mechanically interlocked, and link to each other and to another {Cu(L1)(X)} cage-catenane through a planar, linear tetranuclear {Cu(μ-Cl)Cl} cluster.

The construction of supramolecular networks with novel crosslinks is of great significance in expanding their chemical structures and exploring their advanced functions. Herein, we prepare a type of [2]catenane-cored supramolecular networks based on the crosslinking of polyethylene glycol (PEG) using a heterometallic [2]catenane unit. By adjusting the molecular weight of PEG, the solubility of the networks can be tuned and gels are formed using low molecular weight PEG.

Expanding the protein fold space beyond linear chains is of fundamental significance, yet remains largely unexplored. Herein, we report the creation of seven topological isoforms (i.e.

Synthesizing molecules with significant topological features, such as catenanes, tailored with specific groups to confer desired functionality, is essential for investigating various properties arising from the entanglement due to mechanical bonds. This investigation can pave the way for uncovering novel functional materials employing mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs). In this direction, we have synthesized a π-donor (D) and π-acceptor (A) functionalized [2]catenane using a non-labile Co(III) metal ion as a template with pyridine-diamide templating center and utilizing click reaction for ring-closing.
