DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Guillaume Vives\nhosted by Latha Venkataraman\nA
 bstract: How can molecular motion be transformed into function? Molecular 
 machines offer unique opportunities to control motion at the molecular sca
 le\, yet achieving the complexity and functionality of natural systems rem
 ains challenging. This lecture will present our approach to designing mol
 ecular machines that convert controlled mechanical motion into function.Fi
 rst\, switchable molecular tweezers will be presented as versatile platfor
 ms for controlling luminescence\, magnetism\, catalysis\, and even sol-gel
  transitions. Our work on cyclodextrin-based rotaxanes will also be highli
 ghted\, exploiting the cone-shaped structure and selective functionalizati
 on of cyclodextrins to achieve unidirectional\, active motion through an i
 nformation-ratchet mechanism.
