DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Guillaume Vives\nhosted by Latha Venkataraman\nAbstrac
 t: How can molecular motion be transformed into function? Molecular machin
 es offer unique opportunities to control motion at the molecular scale\, y
 et achieving the complexity and functionality of natural systems remains c
 hallenging. This lecture will present our approach to designing molecular 
 machines that convert controlled mechanical motion into function. First\, 
 switchable molecular tweezers will be presented as versatile platforms for
  controlling luminescence\, magnetism\, catalysis\, and even sol-gel trans
 itions. Our work on cyclodextrin-based rotaxanes will also be highlighted\
 , exploiting the cone-shaped structure and selective functionalization of 
 cyclodextrins to achieve unidirectional\, active motion through an informa
 tion-ratchet mechanism.
