| The researchers, led by Fraser Stoddart, sandwich the catenanes between two electrodes. |
| The molecules we have generated are complex catenanes, wherein the cyclic strands are linked to both of the continuous strands. |
| The formation of catenanes, polyrotaxanes and novel sheet materials are recent highlights. |
| The work builds on research into catenanes by Fraser Stoddart and others at the University of California at Los Angeles. |
| In general, these two closed chains are linked catenanes, and the type of linkage reflects a topological property of the original substrate. |
| In addition to this DNA branching technique, he also has created knots and catenanes with synthesized DNA chains. |
