Development and advancement of rotaxane dendrimers as switchable macromolecular machines
Chak‐Shing Kwan, Ken Cham‐Fai Leung
Abstract
Rotaxane dendrimers are a newly emerging large family of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs), which combine the concept of molecular switching properties into hyperbranched dendrimers to render new macromolecular machines.
