Abstrakt: The article in Angewandte Chemie International Edition discusses a foldarotaxane supramolecular machine created by Yann Ferrand, Frédéric Coutrot, and their team. The machine exhibits cascading macrocycle and helix motions, with different isomers formed based on pH and concentration. The mechanism involves gliding of the macrocycle inducing helix movement along the axle, as well as swapping positions through dissociation and reassociation of the supramolecule. The study also highlights instances where the helix sequesters the macrocycle from its optimal position. [Extracted from the article]
