文摘Among the various methods nowadays used to make catenanes and rotaxanes,the metal template synthesis occupies a place of choice,because of its versatility.This contribution shows that,thanks to the richness of their chemistry,metal templates can fulfil multiple functions for the construction of these topologically-interesting molecules,from the entwining or threading of their precursors to the simultaneous catalysis of the interlocking reaction.
