Summary | We developed artificial molecular muscles that—unlike one-dimensional biological muscles—contractstretch in twothree dimensions. These systems have the structures of [c3]-[c4]daisy chains (DCs) with subcomponents that operate as molecular switches, powered through the addition/removal of Zn2+ ions to impart the muscle-like behavior. The switching phenomena of our [c3]-[c4]DCs |
