Chiral catenanes and rotaxanes are the subject of the Minireview by N. H. Evans on page 3101 ff. Mechanically interlocked molecules may be chiral by either inclusion of a classical chiral element and/or as a consequence of the mechanical bond. Possessing 3D structures, chiral catenanes and rotaxanes are beginning to emerge as excellent candidates for applications such as chiral host‐guest recognition and asymmetric catalysis.
