它们还在分解吗？电化学可切换轮烷因其在氧化还原控制下有效地经历（共）构象和性质变化的能力而众所周知。因此，这些机械互锁组件代表了分子开关和分子电子学领域之间的吉祥联系。自1994年首次报道氧化还原可切换分子穿梭的例子以来，有机和超分子合成的改进工具已经实现了复杂的新架构，这些架构提供了对性质和功能的精确控制。这一观点涵盖了电化学活性轮烷领域的最新进展，包括新型分子开关和机器，含金属轮烷，非平衡系统和潜在的应用。
Are they still electrifying? Electrochemically switchable rotaxanes are well known for their ability to efficiently undergo changes of (co-)conformation and properties under redox-control. Thus, these mechanically interlocked assemblies represent an auspicious liaison between the fields of molecular switches and molecular electronics. Since the first reported example of a redox-switchable molecular shuttle in 1994, improved tools of organic and supramolecular synthesis have enabled sophisticated new architectures, which provide precise control over properties and function. This perspective covers recent advances in the area of electrochemically active rotaxanes including novel molecular switches and machines, metal-containing rotaxanes, non-equilibrium systems and potential applications.
