Mortise-and-tenon joints have been widely used for thousands of years in wooden architectures in virtue of their artistic and functional performance. However, imitation of similar structural and mechanical design philosophy to construct mechanically adaptive materials at the molecular level is a challenge. Herein, we report a mortise-and-tenon joint inspired mechanically interlocked network (MIN), in which the [2]rotaxane crosslink not only mimics the joint in structure, but also reproduces its function in modifying mechanical properties of the MIN. Benefiting from the hierarchical energy dissipative ability along with the controllable intramolecular movement of the mechanically interlocked crosslink, the resultant MIN simultaneously exhibits notable mechanical adaptivity and structural stability in a single system, as manifested by decent stiffness, strength, toughness, and deformation recovery capacity.

A rotaxane composed of two separate Bodipy-functionalized units can be synthesized with a high yield. The resulting structure shows a very efficient through-space energy transfer (FRET), acting as an energy funnel. Thus, maximum solar output in the visibl

Two in one: Two pseudorotaxanes can be combined to form a twin-axial hetero[7]rotaxane (see picture) by using the copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide "click" reaction. The synthetic route, in which twin-axial and single-axial rotaxanes are formed, combines self
