a [2]catenane
a [2]rotaxane
Until the mid 80s, these compounds seemed to be out of reach, although German chemists (Schill) could demonstrate that they can be obtained via elegant but low-yielding and multistep synthetic routes
The synthesis of topologicaly non trivial molecules is, in itself, a challenging task
In the course of the last 20 years, many such systems have been made (challenge) and studied (new properties)

In Strasbourg, since 1994, new systems have been designed and synthesised, with shorter and shorter response times
the original two-position catenane (1994): several
seconds to hours
a pirouetting rotaxane, (5th generation, 2005):
microseconds to milliseconds

The free catenane was deposited in UHV onto the Ag(111) surface by means of organic molecular beam epitaxy (OMBE), with the crucible containing the catenane powder constantly held at a
temperature of 600 K
(a) STM topography of dimer chain structures of 1 at Ag(111) surface. The arrow points to a molecule sitting on top of a chain.
(b) High-resolution STM topography showing the uniform circular or oval shape molecules of 1; d1= 1.6 nm and d2= 2.1 nm
(c) A tentative model of the dimer chain structure derived from the STM data and the X-ray structure of 1; the overlapping phenanthroline units of the neighbouring molecules interact via - stacking
STM data showing the structural change of 1 adsorbed on Ag(111) upon copper addition : (a) chain structure, (b-d) gradual addition of Cu. Bright
protrusion in (d) correspond to excess Cu (clusters)
the free [2]catenane can be deposited on a Ag(111) surface by sublimation at 600 K without chemical degradation
once the [2]catenane molecules are adsorbed on the Ag(111) surface, an in-situ Cu complexation induces a complete rearrangement of the system
