Abstract
Mechanically interlocked molecules have attracted the attention of scientists widely. With the functionalization of supramolecular systems novel strategies and approaches were used to construct mechanically interlocked molecules. Currently, the mechanically interlocked molecules have been installed on photochromic molecules to design novel photochromic materials. In the recent years, mechanically interlocked molecules-based photochromic materials have received the interest of scientists due to their potential applications in many fields, and many types of functionalized molecular machines were constructed, such as molecular switches and selfassembly systems. In this review, we summarize the recent progress of photochromism in mechanically interlocked molecules.
Keywords: Mechanically interlocked molecules, supramolecular systems, photochromism, photochromic materials, molecular switches, selfassembly systems.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
