The nature of the mechanical bond : from molecules to machines /

Show other versions (1)

"In molecules, the mechanical bond is not shared between atoms-it is a bond that arises when molecular entities become entangled in space. Just as supermolecules are held together by supramolecular interactions, mechanomolecules, such as catenanes and rotaxanes, are maintained by mechanical bon...
