“…Weavings, knots, links and related geometrical structures are currently of considerable interest in materials chemistry and biochemistry, as testified in recent reviews (Lim & Jackson, 2015;Flapan, 2015;Bruns & Stoddart, 2016;Pieters et al, 2016;Horner et al, 2016;Fielden et al, 2017) and in other recent reports (Danon et al, 2017;Wu et al, 2017;Kim et al, 2018;Zhang et al, 2018;Leigh et al, 2019;Sawada, Saito et al, 2019;Sawada, Inomata et al, 2019;Inomata et al, 2020). Suggested knots most suitable for self-assembly have recently been identified (Marenda et al, 2018). We are particularly interested in such structures from the perspective of reticular chemistry, which is concerned with the directed assembly of symmetrical frameworks from molecular components (Yaghi et al, 2003).…”
