Chemphyschem. 2002 Jun 17;3(6):519-25. doi: 10.1002/1439-7641(20020617)3:6<519::AID-CPHC519>3.0.CO;2-2.

Abstract

Addressing an array of bistable [2]rotaxanes through a two-dimensional crossbar arrangement provides the device element of a current-driven molecular electronic circuit. The development of the [2]rotaxane switches through an iterative, evolutionary process is described. The arrangement reported here allows both memory and logic functions to use the same elements.
