Transition metal-containing catenanes and rotaxanes are ideally suited to build molecular machines and motors; in the present review article, three examples from our group are discussed which consist of (i) a fast-moving electrochemically-driven pirouetting machine, (ii) a linear rotaxane dimer whose behaviour is reminiscent of muscles, in the sense that it can be stretched or contracted and (iii) a light-driven machine consisting of a catenane constructed around a ruthenium(II) centre.
含过渡金属的索烃和轮烷非常适合构建分子机器和马达；在本综述文章中，将讨论我们团队的三个例子，它们分别是：（i）一种快速移动的电化学驱动的旋转机器；（ii）一种线性轮烷二聚体，其行为类似于肌肉，即它可以拉伸或收缩；（iii）一种由围绕钌（II）中心构建的索烃组成的光驱动机器。
