Fantasy structures such as the heptafoil knot interlocked with seven trefoil knots shown in the cover picture represents a distant goal for template synthesis. Established template strategies for the synthesis of molecular knots (knotanes) and higher assemblies with twisted architectures can lead to such structures. More on the synthesis, functionalization, and properties of knots can be found in the Review by F. Vögtle and O. Lukin on page 1456 ff.
