Abstract
Cyclodextrins have been used as a cyclic component in the construction of supramolecular architectures. Recently they have been studied as a component in the construction of rotaxanes and catenanes. A cyclodextrin ring can translocate in some rotaxane and catenane structures. Therefore, much attention has been given to cyclodextrins as a component of molecular shuttles, motors, and machines. Attempts to design and synthesize molecular-level machines using cyclodextrins as a cyclic component are described.Entities:
