The Nature of the Mechanical Bond: From Molecules to Machines
In molecules, the mechanical bond is not shared between atoms — it arises when molecular entities become entangled in space. Just as supermolecules are held together by supramolecular interactions, mechanomolecules such as catenanes and rotaxanes are maintained by mechanical bonds. This emergent bond endows them with a whole suite of novel properties relating to both form and function.
A comprehensive review of the contemporary literature on the mechanical bond, accessible to newcomers and veterans alike, in a visually driven format with more than 800 illustrations. By Carson J. Bruns and J. Fraser Stoddart, Wiley, 2016. 761 pages.
Praise from Jonathan Nitschke, Josef Michl, Alberto Credi, Jean-Marie Lehn, Roald Hoffmann, Bruce Gibb, Paul Beer and Claude Millot.
