Scope note: Compuestos complejos en los que una molécula con forma de mancuerna se encuentra rodeada por un macrociclo. Su nombre deriva de los términos rota (rueda) y axis (eje). Se anota con un prefijo que indica el número de componentes trabados. Tienen utilidad potencial en la NANOTECNOLOGÍA. Los rotaxanos han sido fabricados con CICLODEXTRINAS y ÉTERES CÍCLICOS.

Scope note: Complex compounds in which a dumbbell shaped molecule is encircled by a macrocycle. They are named after rota (wheel) and axis (axle). Notation with a prefix is used to indicate the number of interlocked components. They have potential use in NANOTECHNOLOGY. Rotaxanes have been made with CYCLODEXTRINS and CYCLIC ETHERS.
