摘要
Introduction Although devices based on pseudorotaxanes, cantenanes, and rotaxanes are commercialized yet, several researches have been done on the applications of these donor-acceptor molecules. A promising area is the field of nanotechnology. The miniaturization of semi-conductor technology by the ＂top-down＂ approach is limited by the wavelength of the radiation used in the lithography to prepare electronic components. Therefore, the ＂bottom-up＂ may be more suitable to create devices with sizes down to the molecular level. A molecular or supramolecular system, in which the relative position of the component parts can be altered by an external stimulus, a molecular switch, can act as the basic unit for the creation of new molecular devices .
