rotaxane switch
1Rotaxane — A rotaxane is a mechanically interlocked molecular architecture consisting of a dumbbell shaped molecule which is threaded through a macrocycle (see graphical representation). The name is derived from the Latin for wheel (rota) and axle (axis).… …
2Molecular switch — A molecular switch is a molecule that can be reversibly shifted between two or more stable states.[1] The molecules may be shifted between the states in response to changes in e.g. pH, light, temperature, an electrical current, microenvironment,… …
