Abstract
The macroscopic concepts of a device and a machine can be extended to the molecular level. Molecular-level devices and machines are constructed by a bottom-up approach. The atom-by-atom bottom-up approach is unrealistic from the chemical viewpoint. The bottom-up approach molecule-by-molecule following the guidelines of supramolecular (multicomponent) chemistry has proved to be successful. The extension of the concepts of a device and a machine to the molecular level is of interest not only for basic research, but also for the growth of nanoscience and the development of nanotechnology.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
