Design and synthesis of molecular machines:Commentary on the 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry

2016年度诺贝尔化学奖授予Jean-Pierre Sauvage、Sir J.Fraser Stoddart和Bernard L.Feringa 3位科学家,以表彰他们在分子机器设计与合成方面的重大贡献。分子机器是一个新兴的研究领域,致力于构建分子水平上的机器。超分子化学在分子机器的研究中起到至关重要的作用,从一定意义来说,这是继1987年以来,诺贝尔化学奖第2次授予超分子研究领域的科学家。本文简述分子机器的设计理念、合成思路、发展现状和前景。

The 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to three scientists （Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Sir J. Fraser Stoddart, and Bernard L. Feringa） for the design and synthesis of molecular machines. The field of molecular machines focuses on constructing the machine at the molecular level, and supramolecular chemistry plays an important role in this research area. Therefore, to some degree, it is the second time that the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to the scientists working on supramolecular chemistry after 1987. In this paper, a summary on the design concept, synthesis strategy, development and outlook of molecular machines is given.
