Transition metal complexes as molecular machine prototypes
Abstract
The field of molecular machines, i.e. multicomponent systems able to undergo large amplitude motions under the action of an external signal, has experienced a spectacular development since the beginning of the 1990s. Transition metal complexes have played an important role in this context, often as components of catenanes and rotaxanes. The present tutorial review will discuss a few systems of this type, taken from the contributions of our group or from others. The stimulus responsible for the controlled motion of the machine can be chemical, electrochemical, or photochemical. Examples of these three categories will be considered.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
