Rotaxanes possessing catalytic functions have attracted much attention due to their unique structures consisting of mechanically linked components and their properties. The use of the rotaxane-based molecules as a reaction template enables the amplification of weak interactions by a proximity effect between the components, providing an ideal scaffold to evaluate the inherence of interaction between the elements. This study is focused on an evaluation of synergy effect generated between a transition metal and typical elements. On the basis of these results, we developed a new rotaxane catalyst and linear molecular motor including the rotaxane skeleton as a key unit.
