Nature uses molecular motors and machines in virtually every significant biological process but learning how to design and assemble simpler artificial structures that function through controlled molecular-level motion is a major challenge for contemporary physical science. In this review we discuss some of the principles behind synthetic molecular motors and machines and examine a class of molecular architectures, benzylic amide catenanes and rotaxanes, that are proving promising in this area. The movement of the components in these systems can be controlled by light, electrons, chemical reactions, pH, temperature and the nature of the environment leading to both simple switches (molecular shuttles) and more complex molecular motors. They operate through biasing random thermal motion and can be understood through an appreciation of physical fluxional transport mechanisms. Remarkably simple examples of stimuli-responsive molecular shuttles can be interfaced with—and even perform physical tasks in—the macroscopic world.
