Abstract
We present a novel system, a liquid-state pillar[5]arene decorated with tri(ethylene oxide) chains, that brings electron-donor and electron-acceptor molecules into proximity for efficient exciplex formation. The electron-accepting guests exhibit a blue-purple emission from a localized excited state upon excitation in common solvents. However, directly dissolving the guests in the electron-donating pillar[5]arene liquid (a bulk system) results in visible green emission from the formed exciplexes. In the bulk system, the guest molecules are always surrounded by excess pillar[5]arene molecules, resulting in the formation of mainly inclusion-type exciplexes. In the bulk system, energy migration occurs between the pillar[5]arene molecules. Excitation of the pillar[5]arenes results in a more intense green exciplex emission than that observed upon direct excitation of the guests. In summary, the pillar[5]arene liquid is a novel system for achieving efficient exciplex formation and energy migration that is different from typical solvent and solid systems.

Abstract
As the electronics industry is integrating more and more new molecules to utilize them in logic circuits and memories to achieve ultra-high efficiency and device density, many organic structures emerged as promising candidates either in conjunction with or as an alternative to conventional semiconducting materials such as but not limited to silicon. Owing to rotaxane's mechanically interlocked molecular structure consisting of a dumbbell-shaped molecule threaded through a macrocycle, they could be excellent nanomachines in molecular switches and memory applications. As a nanomachine, the macrocycle of rotaxane can move reversibly between two stations along its axis under external stimuli, resulting in two stable molecular configurations known as "ON" and "OFF" states of the controllable switch with distinct resistance. There are excellent reports on rotaxane's structure, properties, and function relationship and its application to molecular electronics (Ogino, et al., 1984; Wu, et al., 1991; Bissell, et al., 1994; Collier, et al., 1999; Pease, et al., 2001; Chen, et al., 2003; Green, et al., 2007; Jia, et al., 2016). This comprehensive review summarizes [2]rotaxane and its application to molecular electronics. This review sorts the major research work into a multi-level pyramid structure and presents the challenges of [2]rotaxane's application to molecular electronics at three levels in developing molecular circuits and systems. First, we investigate [2]rotaxane's electrical characteristics with different driving methods and discuss the design considerations and roles based on voltage-driven [2]rotaxane switches that promise the best performance and compatibility with existing solid-state circuits. Second, we examine the solutions for integrating [2]rotaxane molecules into circuits and the limitations learned from these devices keep [2]rotaxane active as a molecular switch. Finally, applying a sandwiched crossbar structure and architecture to [2]rotaxane circuits reduces the fabrication difficulty and extends the possibility of reprogrammable [2]rotaxane arrays, especially at a system level, which eventually promotes the further realization of [2]rotaxane circuits.

Abstract
The general principles guiding the design of molecular machines based on interlocked structures are well known. Nonetheless, the identification of suitable molecular components for a precise tuning of the energetic parameters that determine the mechanical link is still challenging. Indeed, what are the reasons of the "all-or-nothing" effect, which turns a molecular "speed-bump" into a stopper in pseudorotaxane-based architectures? Here we investigate the threading and dethreading processes for a representative class of molecular components, based on symmetric dibenzylammonium axles and dibenzo[24]crown-8 ether, with a joint experimental-computational strategy. From the analysis of quantitative data and an atomistic insight, we derive simple rules correlating the kinetic behaviour with the substitution pattern, and provide rational guidelines for the design of modules to be integrated in molecular switches and motors with sophisticated dynamic features.

Abstract
The synthesis and dynamic nature of macromolecular systems controlled by rotaxane macromolecular switches are introduced to discuss the significance of rotaxane linking of polymer chains and its topological switching. Macromolecular switches have been synthesized from macromolecular [2]rotaxanes (M2Rs) using sec-ammonium salt/crown ether couples. The successful synthesis of M2Rs possessing a single polymer axle and one crown ether wheel, constituting a key component of the macromolecular switch, has allowed us to develop various unique applications such as the development of topology-transformable polymers. Polymer topological transformations (e.g., linear-star and linear-cyclic) are achieved using rotaxane-linked polymers and rotaxane macromolecular switches. The pronounced dynamic nature of these polymer systems is sufficiently interesting to design sophisticated stimuli-responsive molecules, polymers, and materials.

Abstract
Systematic investigation of rotaxane structures has revealed a rational design for thermally driven switching of their macroscopic properties. At low temperature, the luminophore is insulated by the macrocycles and displays monomer emission, whereas at high temperature, the luminophore is exposed owing to a change in the macrocyclic location distribution and interacts with external molecules, affording a thermally driven luminescent color change with high reversibility and responsiveness. This macroscopic switching through efficient thermal sliding was made possible by appropriate tuning of both the macrocycle-luminophore interactions within the rotaxane and the coupling between the excited luminophore and external molecules in an exciplex. The ability to switch properties by a simple and clean thermal stimuli should expand the utilization of rotaxanes as components of thermally driven molecular systems.

Abstract
In this study, poly(δ-valerolactone) (PVL) axles bearing movable and fixed dibenzo-24-crown-8-ether wheels (rot-M and rot-F) are investigated for the first time in the terms of phase transition and nanoscale film morphology: PVL-rot-M and PVL-rot-F. Interestingly, the PVL axles reveal a strong tendency to form a horizontal lamellar structure with three different rotational crystal lattice domains in nanoscale films. The morphological structural parameters are discernibly varied by the movable and fixed rotaxane wheels. In particular, the rot-M wheel tends to be populated in both the interfacial and amorphous layers. The rot-M wheel is found to significantly influence the phase transition characteristics of the PVL axle because of its movability along the polymer backbone chain. In contrast, the rot-F wheel tends to be more localized in the interfacial layer rather than in the amorphous layer because of its immovability constrained at the polymer chain end. The rot-F wheel causes severe thermal instability in the PVL axle, which can be attributed mainly to the presence of its counter anion (PF6 - ).

Abstract
Polyrotaxane (PR), consisting of many ring molecules and an axis polymer, is a typical supramolecular structure with unique topological characteristics. In this study, we demonstrated the drastic change of the macroscopic mechanical properties depending on the ring position of PR in bulk. Poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(propylene oxide)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) triblock copolymer was employed as an axis polymer to control the position of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). To transfer the β-CD positions, hydroxypropyl groups (HPPR) and hydrophobic trimethyl silyl groups (TMS-HPPR), which have hydrophilic and hydrophobic β-CD, respectively, were synthesized. β-CDs in HPPR were localized on a central PPO segment and formed crystal domains. The axis polymer of HPPR could not bridge β-CD crystal domains, resulting in a melt state at high temperature. On the other hand, β-CDs in TMS-HPPR were transferred to both PEO segments and formed crystal domains. The axis polymer in TMS-HPPR could bridge the β-CD crystal domains, resulting in an elastic state even at high temperature. We succeeded in demonstrating the potential ability of PR: the macroscopic mechanical properties of PR can be changed from a melt state to an elastic one by manipulating the ring positions.

Abstract
Synthetic polyelectrolytes, capable of fast transporting protons, represent a challenging target for membrane engineering in so many fields, for example, fuel cells, redox flow batteries, etc. Inspired by the fast advance in molecular machines, here we report a rotaxane based polymer entity assembled via host-guest interaction and prove that by exploiting the thermally triggered translational motion (although not in a controlled manner) of mechanically bonded rotaxane, exceptionally fast proton transfer can be fulfilled at an external thermal input. The relative motion of the sulfonated axle to the ring in rotaxane happens at ~60 °C in our cases and because of that a proton conductivity (indicating proton transfer rate) of 260.2 mS cm-1, which is much higher than that in the state-of-the-art Nafion, is obtained at a relatively low ion-exchange capacity (representing the amount of proton transfer groups) of 0.73 mmol g-1.

Abstract
We developed novel size-complementary molecular and macromolecular rotaxanes using a 2,6-dimethylphenyl terminal group as the axle-end-cap group in dibenzo-24-crown-8-ether (DB24C8)-based rotaxanes, where the 2,6-dimethylphenyl group was found to be less bulky than the 3,5-dimethylphenyl group. A series of molecular and macromolecular [2]rotaxanes that bear a 2,6-dimethylphenyl group as the axle-end-cap were synthesized using unsubstituted and fluorine-substituted DB24C8. Base-induced decomposition into their constituent components confirmed the occurrence of deslipping, which supports the size-complementarity of these rotaxanes. The deslipping rate was independent of the axle length but dependent on the DB24C8 substituents. A kinetic study indicated the rate-determining step was that in which the wheel is getting over the end-cap group, and deslipping proceeded via a hopping-over mechanism. Finally, the present deslipping behavior was applied to a stimulus-degradable polymer as an example for the versatile utility of this concept in the context of stimulus-responsive materials.

Abstract
We report on mechanically linked polymers containing a single catenane in the middle of the chain. These polymers were synthesized by a simple procedure consisting in "clicking" polymer chains onto a functionalized palladium-templated [2]catenane, allowing the preparation of a variety of mechanically linked polymers. The flexibility of the catenane junction was modulated by removing the Pd ion from the catenane to unlock the macrocycles and increase their mobility. We show that this mobility change has a strong impact on the solid-state properties of the polymers. This is illustrated by studying the glass transition temperature of polystyrene-based polymers and the crystallization behavior of poly(ethylene oxide)-based polymers. Our study proves that a change of flexibility of a single catenane inserted into a polymer chain drastically influences the polymer behavior in the solid state.
