Dynamic Functional Molecular Systems: From Supramolecular Structures to Multi‐Component Machinery and to Molecular Cybernetics

Abstract: This essay highlights the role of single and multiple reversible self‐sorting events for the development of responsive multi‐component structures as well as multi‐state transformations, devices and machinery. Recent examples illustrate how distinct molecular devices are spatiotemporarily interconnected by chemical signaling to act as integrated machinery and highlight the enormous potential of molecular cybernetics.

“…While fluxional molecules involving bond cleavage/formation have a long‐standing history, related dynamics within multiple degenerate structures in supramolecular multicomponent devices is scarce . Herein, for the first time, multicomponent rotors are equipped with fluxional axles allowing them to undergo domino rotation. Such domino rotors are characterized by a unique feature: the rotator arm of the first rotor subunit intra(supra)molecularly interconverts into the axle of the second rotor subunit.…”

“…The chemical communication protocol demonstrates its potential for sophisticated information transfer [20] within a mixture and extends the seminal work by Lehn on molecular actuator & engine type of devices "fueled" by ion flow. [7a,b] Both the synthesis and regulation of mechanical motion through naked-eye colorimetric and luminescence changes allow one to follow the finely-tuned operation within network.…”

“…Während fluktuierende Moleküle mit Bindungsspaltung/‐bildung eine lange Geschichte aufweisen, ist eine ähnliche Dynamik innerhalb multipler entarteter Strukturen in supramolekularen Mehrkomponentengeräten selten . Erstmals werden hier Mehrkomponentenrotoren mit fluktuierenden Achsen ausgestattet, die eine Domino‐Rotation ermöglichen. Solche Domino‐Rotoren zeichnen sich durch ein einzigartiges Merkmal aus: Der Rotatorarm der ersten Rotoruntereinheit wandelt sich intra(supra)molekular in die Achse der zweiten Rotoruntereinheit um.…”
